Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container, in particular a bottle or a can, with a plurality of chambers, which are also referred to below as sub-containers.
- a container in particular a bottle or a can
- a plurality of chambers which are also referred to below as sub-containers.
- bottles or cans are particularly suitable for storing and transporting liquids therein.
- liquids can be very diverse, such as drinks, shampoos, hair fixatives, detergents or the like.
- German Utility Model G 85 26 243 U1 describes a bottle, which consists of two half-bottles, each having a bottle outlet and which are flush with each other, each with a flat running in the bottle longitudinal direction bottle wall. This is to solve the problem of designing a bottle of the type mentioned, which indeed has a large volume, but is convenient to accommodate in refrigerators or anywhere else and their content does not taste bland after repeated opening.
- the German patent application DE 44 39 869 A1 relates to a multi-part bottle.
- the object is to be solved to provide a storage option for various substances that is handy and easy to transport and also can be easily made.
- the invention there is based on a bottle for holding liquids and proposes that a plurality of identical single bottles with uniform cross section by means of connecting means are joined together to form a unit. These connecting means are designed so that the individual bottles can be individually decoupled from the unit and set up again, whereby they are also used individually.
- German laid-open specification DE 100 54 587 A1 also proposes a device which serves to absorb liquids and at least two separate and opposite having closable interior spaces.
- the inner spaces extend in the direction of an inner space longitudinal axis at least along a substantial part of their extent next to each other.
- the German patent application DE 42 19 598 A1 introduces a two-chamber bottle with plastic closure.
- This consists of two individual chambers, each having a flat wall, which are adjacent to each other and are positively connected to each other with connection means.
- a special associated closure is described in detail.
- This has a film hinge which can be designed as a snap hinge and is described in detail in the European patent EP 0 147 423 B1.
- the presented in DE 42 19 598 A1 plastic closure can be secured with a guarantee strip.
- This is a tape which is molded onto a lower part via a plurality of webs, which serve as predetermined breaking points.
- the guarantee strip serves as a guarantee of integrity and is of particular importance when a bottle is used for food purposes.
- a drinking or baby bottle is divided into two chambers by means of a septum so that two different liquids can be filled into the chambers.
- the septum represents a wall, which is assigned to two chambers. The two chambers therefore only partially have their own wall.
- WO 201 1/1 16442 A1 discloses a two-chamber container in which the contact between the two chambers or partial containers runs along a plane which is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the container.
- the device also constitutes a two-chamber container, but the chambers contact each other along a wave-shaped contact surface.
- the contact surface can also run along a spiral or helical line.
- a multi-part bottle with such a contact surface is e.g. in US 6,325,229 B1.
- the shape of the contact surface can also fulfill technical tasks in addition to aesthetic features.
- the intermeshing of the sub-containers which are described in WO 201 1/157851 A1, ensures, for example, the mechanical stability of the connection. In this way, several sub-containers can be assembled and transported in a stable arrangement.
- the multi-chamber containers known from the prior art all have a plurality of chambers which are adjacent to each other over a large area directly and are also connected to one another. This requires a complex manufacturing process, the individual chambers must be partially joined later. In addition, the individual chambers in the known containers to each other in close thermal contact.
- Cosmetics in particular shampoos and hair fixatives
- the individual sub-containers of the container according to the invention should be largely thermally insulated from each other.
- the container according to the invention may consist of different materials or materials, such as plastic and / or metal. This also means that compounds made of different materials are possible, such as one made of plastic and a steel material. The choice depends on the desired application and in particular on the desired mechanical stress. If made of plastic, the invention also has the advantage that it can be made in one piece, such as by injection molding, extrusion and / or injection blow molding. The space that exists between the individual sub-containers can be used for the arrangement of the injection molding tool. Depending on the material used, other methods such as casting and / or the use of a 3-D printer can be used for the production.
- the container according to the invention serves to receive and store a plurality of different fluid and / or granular media.
- a first sub-container can receive a first medium and a second sub-container can receive a second medium.
- the container is designed such that the first medium in the first part of the container can be stored separately from the second medium in the second part of the container.
- the sub-containers are connected to each other by at least one connecting means, wherein the at least one connecting means is fixed to the walls of the sub-container and the walls of the individual sub-containers so separated that the distance between the outer surfaces of the walls does not fall below a value of 0.2 mm.
- the container according to the invention has a hull which has at least two partial containers.
- the hull has a lower portion, which is also referred to as a floor, and an upper portion in which openings of the sub-containers are located.
- This upper region may also have the shape of a bottle neck.
- the intermediate region is also referred to in this patent application as the middle region.
- the hull has an axis that extends centrally within the hull from its upper portion to its lower portion, and is referred to herein as a longitudinal axis.
- the sub-containers each have their own walls and preferably each have their own opening and are shaped and arranged such that they extend along a predetermined course by means of a central element extending at least in sections along the longitudinal axis (L) and / or along at least one of the further axes , are interconnected.
- This predetermined course corresponds
- At least one further axis which runs substantially parallel to this longitudinal axis, and / or
- This compound can be present over the entire length of the fuselage or the length of adjacent sub-containers, which can also be designed in a spiral shape, or be only punctiform, that is, at individual points along the predetermined course. Outside these compounds, the walls of the individual sub-containers have a predetermined distance from each other, so that they are largely separated by air gaps.
- the above-mentioned advantages of the air gaps must be taken into account, such as thermal insulation and the possibility of introducing manufacturing means there.
- On the other hand will achieved by a direct connection of adjacent sub-containers a higher stability.
- At least one of the air gaps over the entire height of the fuselage or along adjacent sub-containers has an overall length whose value is at least 50% and preferably at least 80% or 90%. - the hull height corresponds. Total length here means the sum of the partial lengths of the air gap over the corresponding sections along the fuselage. All air gaps can have the same overall length. But it is also possible that at least one of them has a different total length than the other air gaps.
- the sub-containers can be the same size. However, it is also possible that at least one of them has a different size - and thus a different capacity - as the other sub-containers.
- the air gaps can also be of different sizes, for example to allow different thermal insulation between adjacent sub-containers.
- At least one of the sub-containers may have more than one chamber, which may also be referred to as a sub-container.
- Each of these sub-containers preferably has its own opening. Preferably, there is no air gap between sub-tanks of the same sub-tank. Substances that are located in such sub-sub-containers are therefore on the one hand separated from each other and also separately removable; However, they are thermally less isolated from each other than substances that are located in different sub-containers. The use of such sub-container part allows a compact design.
- connection between the sub-containers can be done in different ways.
- at least some of the sub-containers are shaped such that a corresponding central element is subsequently attached thereto by means of a positive connection.
- the desired central element which can be made of plastic and / or metal, for example, separately and then introduce this into the manufacturing process for the partial containers.
- the material of the sub-containers such as, for example, plastic and / or metal
- the sub-containers connect to the introduced central element.
- the introduced central element and the associated sub-containers made of the same material or material.
- other methods may be used in addition or instead, such as welding, gluing and / or other suitable methods.
- This closure preferably has a plurality of flaps, which are associated with openings of the individual sub-containers. That is, by opening such a flap, the opening of the associated sub-container is released, so that this a substance (such as liquid) can be removed or filled there.
- the flaps are hinged. This can be realized in various ways, such as by means of a film hinge, hinged hinge, or by a suitable rotatable bearing.
- a rotatable bearing is usually designed such that a first bearing part is attached to the flap and a second bearing part is fastened to the closure and / or to the body of the container.
- the first bearing part consists for example of two arms, on each of which a pin is arranged.
- the second bearing part is the matching counterpart, which allows the first bearing part a rotatable mounting, such as matching openings for the said Pencils.
- the invention proposes that one of these bearing parts is located inside the closure and / or the container.
- the first bearing part is adjusted accordingly, for example by appropriate shaping of the arms that hold the pins.
- an almost planar surface is made possible on the upper side of the container or closure.
- predetermined breaking points between the flaps and the rest of the closure are provided which break when the flaps are first opened.
- Such predetermined breaking points can be made possible for example by means of a guarantee strip, as known from DE 42 19 598 A1. It is also possible to use suitable locking elements with predetermined breaking points, which engage when closing the flaps and are then only to be opened again via the predetermined breaking points.

- Fig. 14 a container with a lid, which is located in a recess
- Fig. 15 is a container with three sub-containers and parallel
- FIG. 16 shows a closure for the container according to FIG. 15.
- FIG. Fig. 1 shows a side view of a preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention. This includes
- a hull 10 with a height H which here has three sub-containers 12 (see Fig. 2), of which in Fig. 1, only two are visible, and
- a closure 20 which is arranged in the mounted state in the upper region of the fuselage 10 on the neck 1 1 and the three sub-container 12 closes.
- the partial containers 12 shown in FIG. 1 are connected to a central element 16, which extends substantially along the longitudinal axis L of the fuselage 10 and will be discussed in greater detail below.
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view along the line A-A (Fig. 1), which is located in the central region of the hull 10 - ie between the region of the neck 1 1 and the container bottom. From this it can be seen in particular that in the preferred embodiment, the hull 10 has a circular base and the sub-containers 12 are connected to the central element 16 and extending outwardly therefrom.
- the cross sections of the sub-containers 12 each represent a circular sector with a sector angle ⁇ , these being the same size for all sub-containers.
- An air gap 18 is in each case located between adjacent sub-containers 12.
- the air gaps 18 shown here are of equal size and their cross-section likewise represents a circular sector, each of which has a sector angle ⁇ . Due to the circle geometry and the respective same angle follows:
- Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the neck 1 1 along the line BB (Fig. 1). It can be seen that each of the sub-container 12 also in the neck 1 1 has a cross-section which has the shape of a circular sector and the sector angle has ⁇ .
- FIGS. 1 and 2 extend the air gaps 18, 18a with the same sector angle ⁇ continuously from the bottom of the fuselage 10 to the upper end of the neck 1 1, so that the sub-containers 12, 12 a are interconnected only via the central element 16. This allows a high thermal insulation between the individual sub-containers 12 are made possible.
- ⁇ 5 - 50 degrees, with the range between 15 and 25 degrees being particularly preferred.
- the individual sub-containers 12 need not be the same size. For example, it is possible that one of them is larger or smaller than the other two. It is also possible that all three are of different sizes. This also applies to the corresponding angle a. In addition, the air gaps 18, 18a and thus the angles ß can be of different sizes. Of course, it is also possible that more or less than three of the sub-containers 12 are provided. In such cases, of course, there are other relations for the mentioned angles, which are generally known to the person skilled in the art and need not be discussed in detail here.
- FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the central element 16. Since this runs continuously in the preferred embodiment from the bottom of the fuselage 10 to its neck 1 1, this representation corresponds to an enlargement of the associated representations of FIGS. 2 and 3. It is particularly to recognize that here the central element 16 has the shape of a cylindrical tube having a cavity in the interior and the outer wall is connected to the individual sub-containers 12.
- FIG. 5 and 6 respectively alternatives for a suitable central element 16 are shown in cross-sectional view.
- the cross section of the central member 16 has a star-like shape, in which leads to each of the sub-container 12, an arm.
- at least one of the sub-containers 12 it is also possible for at least one of the sub-containers 12 to be connected to more than one arm of the central element 16.
- the embodiment of FIG. 5 allows a very good thermal insulation between the individual sub-containers 12.
- FIG. 6 however, allows a better connection between the central element 16 and the individual containers 12 and thus a better mechanical stability.
- FIG. 7 shows an alternative cross-sectional view along the line AA (FIG. 1).
- central element 16 ' is essential here is the further alternative for the central element, which is referred to here as 16 '. It can be seen here that the central element 16 'here has further arms 17 which project into the air gaps 18 and thus enable a mechanically more stable connection between the central element 16' and the individual partial containers 12.
- FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of a further alternative for the design of the fuselage 10, with this depiction referring in particular to its middle region.
- the main difference compared to the embodiments described above is that only two of the sub-containers are present here (referred to here with 1 12), which are designed such that they are interconnected by means of a central element 1 16 and the associated air gaps 1 18 each one Have cross-section with two parallel longitudinal sides. This means that the cross section of the air gap is not a circular sector here.
- Such a two-chamber design is on the one hand easier to produce than a container with three or more chambers.
- such a design is particularly suitable for beverage cans, which are usually made of metal, such as sheet metal, aluminum or the like, often deep-drawing or punching is used without a welding process.
- a container with two partial containers 12 or 12 can also be designed in such a way that one or both of the air gaps 18 and 18 has the cross-section of a circular sector. This allows a striking aesthetic design.
- a central element 16 or 16 is provided in each case, which is firmly connected in the course of the manufacturing process with the associated sub-containers.
- the container according to the invention is by no means limited thereto.
- more of the sub-containers 12, 1 12 can realize a common hull 10 only by subsequent assembly. This will be discussed in more detail below.
- FIGS. 9-11 show a cross-sectional view of the central area of a fuselage 10 with two sub-tanks 212 and a central element 216.
- the essential difference from the above-described embodiments is that after completion of the manufacturing process of the individual sub-tank 212, this neither with each other nor via the central element 216th are firmly connected to each other. Instead, it is possible to connect the sub-containers 212 to one another after their production and, if appropriate, also after their filling by means of the central element 216. A subsequent separation of the sub-container 212 can thereby be made possible, provided that the connection between the sub-containers 212 and the central element 216 is designed accordingly.
- the central element 216 is designed such that a middle part 217 is present, which has a bulge 219 at each of its ends.
- each of the partial containers 212 has a groove 214, which is designed and arranged in such a way that one of the bulges 219 can be inserted there in order to be able to connect the two partial containers 212 in a form-fitting manner by means of the central element 216.
- Such insertion of the bulges 219 can be done for example by
- At least one of the bulges 219 has a latching element (not shown in the figures), which, together with an associated counterpart, which is located at a suitable location of the associated groove 214, allows a fixation against displacement between the central element 216 and the corresponding container 212 , Depending on the configuration of the locking elements, this fixation
- the sub-containers 212 can also be used individually, ie without a connection to one of the further sub-containers 212.
- means are to be provided which close the opening of the corresponding sub-container 212 even without the use of the closure 20.
- Such agents are, for example, a film which is welded or glued after filling.
- a sealing plug which can be inserted into the correspondingly designed opening of the sub-container 212, for example by means of a screw connection with an internal thread and / or an external thread at the openings of the sub-container 212, a crimp connection and / or the like. It is also possible that at least some of the sub-containers 212 have more than one opening.
- FIGS. 9-11 is only symbolic and has been described on a hull 10 with two partial containers 212 for reasons of clarity. It is understood that with appropriate design of the central element and the part of the container, the described principle can be realized with three or more sub-containers. Corresponding solutions are known to the person skilled in the art on the basis of the statements made. meetings and are not described further here. It is also possible for the central element 216 to have a different cross section in the region of the neck 11, that is to say along the line BB (see FIG. 1), than in the middle region of the container. It is conceivable that the central element 216 in the region of the neck 1 1 has a cross section, as in the previous embodiments - in particular in Fig.
- Another way to connect more of the sub-containers 12, 1 12 together is to connect them directly to each other, ie without forming a special central element.
- Such a connection is preferably produced in the course of the production process, as in an injection molding process, by material accumulation. Preference is given to punctual connections, the number of which depends along the vertical axis of the fuselage 10 from its height. Two to four such compounds are preferred.
- the closure 20 shown in FIG. 1 consists essentially of a lid 22, from the outside of which a wall 24 protrudes downwards like a collar.
- the closure 20 has in its interior means by which it can be attached to the hull 10, in particular to its neck 11.
- Such means are, for example
- Fig. 12 illustrates the top of the closure 20 and thus the lid 22 for a container according to Figs. 1-3 as a symbolic plan view.
- the lid 22 consists essentially of a circular disc, with the following elements:
- a central part 26 which projects into the interior of the closure 20 and is inserted there in the assembled state in the opening of the central element 16 to center the closure 20 on the neck 1 1.
- Three nubs 30, which also protrude into the interior of the closure 20 and there in the mounted state in the air gaps 18 to fix the closure 20.
- Three flaps 32 which are designed and arranged so that they are arranged in the mounted state of the closure 20 respectively above one of the sub-container 12.
- the flaps 32 are connected with their inner side 34, that is, the side facing in the direction of the central part 26, hingedly connected to the cover 22 so that they can be pivoted upwards accordingly.
- a suitable and preferred joint for this purpose is, for example, a film hinge or a snap hinge, as described in DE 42 19 598 A1.
- flap bearings in which pins are rotatably mounted in associated openings. It is particularly advantageous if these bearings are located within the closure 20. This makes it possible that the cover 22 has a nearly flat surface without disturbing mechanical parts.
- the number of sub-containers (12; 1 12; 212) can also be increased if a plurality of hulls 10 are connected together. A corresponding example of this is shown in the form of a "double pack" in Fig. 13.
- the cross section of the central element 16, 16 can have a multiplicity of shapes.
- polygonal shapes are also possible, ie shapes that are triangular, quadrangular, etc. Thereby, the rigidity of the container can be increased.
- the central element 16, 16 is not arranged continuously along the longitudinal axis of the fuselage 10, but only in sections. This also means that several such sections of the central element 16, 16 can be present. It is also possible for a first section to have a first shape (as shown for example in FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, 9) and at least one further section to have a different shape.
- the sub-containers 12 may be designed such that the fuselage 10 also has a diameter in the upper region which is the same or similar as in its center and / or in its lower region. This eliminates the neck 1 1.
- the associated closure 20 must then be designed accordingly.
- Each of the sub-containers 12 may have its own closure for its opening.
- the container according to the invention can be designed as a beverage can with several partial containers.
- the size of the container according to the invention can be very different and also include large containers for industrial purposes. Since these can be bulky and heavy when filled, it is provided in a further development to provide the bottom of the container with transport slots, so that tines of a forklift or the like can be introduced there for transport.
- the closure 20 also allows a variety of variations and modifications. It is possible, for example, that in addition to or instead of the guarantee strips 36, locking elements are provided on the outer sides of the flaps 32 with associated elements
- the locking element and / or the counterpart has a predetermined breaking point, which is damaged when a user opens the associated flap 32.
- Preferred locking elements operate on the principle of snap connection, such as a snap hook, which is permanently connected to a matching counterpart.
- the neck 21 1 may be designed such that it forms a depression above the sub-containers 12 (see Fig. 14).
- a closure is used (referred to here with 220), which is held there by suitable means, such as by a thread, a locking connection with grooves or the like.
- FIG. 15 shows symbolically in a cross-sectional representation in the middle region, that is to say approximately at the level of the line AA (FIG. 1), a development in which three partial containers 312 ', 312 ", 312” (also collectively abbreviated to 312) are used, which are arranged and configured such that the associated air gaps 318 ', 318 "(also collectively referred to briefly as 318) are substantially parallel. and 312 "'are connected by a joint 316.”
- the joints 316', 316 "(also collectively referred to briefly as 316) each extend along an axis that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
- Both connections 316 may be designed in a variety of ways, as already described in connection with the previous embodiments; so be realized in particular by a central element, by an accumulation of material and / or the like. They may be the same or different from each other.
- FIG. 16 shows a symbolic plan view of a closure 320 which is suitable for the container according to FIG. 15.
- the closure 320 has three flaps 332 ', 332 ", 332"', which can each be pivoted about associated joints 340 ', 340 "and 340"', thus releasing the opening of the associated sub-container 312.
- At least some of the sub-containers 12, 212, 312 may be designed such that they have more than one chamber, which may also be referred to as sub-sub-containers.
- Each of these sub-sub-containers has its own opening, which can be made separately accessible with appropriate design of the associated closure.
- any suitable central element can be used for such an embodiment. If it has a star-shaped cross-sectional shape (similar to that shown in Fig. 5), an implementation is preferred in which at least one arm leads to each of the sub-sub-containers.
- At least some of the sub-containers 12, 112, 212, 312 can, at least in sections, have a spiral shape, that is to say they run helically or helically. That is, they wind around the longitudinal axis L and / or about another axis that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
- Such a spiral shape can be provided over the entire height H of the fuselage 10, ie from the openings to the floor, below the neck 11 and / or at other sections of the fuselage 10.
- sub-container connections can be varied, ie in particular by means of a suitable central element, by means of suitable material clusters and / or the like.
- a container is an article having at least one cavity. In particular, it serves the purpose of separating its contents from its environment.
- a fluid medium is a gas or a liquid.
- a granular medium consists of many small, solid particles such as grains or spheres.
- Examples of granular media are granular materials such as sand, powdery materials such as powder or, in large quantities, loose material such as debris, gravel or boulders.
