Abstract
The combination container consists of a concentric double receptacle, wherein a mounting (5) for the second receptacle (2) is attached at the periphery of the aperture of the first receptacle (1) by means of notches or undercuts, eg in the manner of a bayonet closure. This mounting (5) is provided with a central aperture (10) having an internal thread (11) which fits onto an external thread located on the neck of the second receptacle (2). Perforations or apertures for pouring out the liquid contained in the first receptacle (1) are provided in the mounting (5). Moreover, the apertures of the first receptacle (1) and the central aperture in the receptacle (2) can be closed by a common screw cap (12). The first receptacle (1) consists as a rule of a canister of square or rectangular cross-section, while the second receptacle (2) can be a commercially available plastic bottle of the same height. After filling the two receptacles with different liquids, eg crop protection liquids, a metal laminated plastics film (14) may seal the apertures. Spikes (15) on the screw cap maybe used to pierce the film (14), a sealing disc (18) of foamed polyethylene carried by the cap acting to seal the inner receptacle and prevent any unintentional mixing of the liquids.
Description
The Invention relates to a combination container for two liquids, having two receptacles, the second receptacle being arranged within the first receptacle.
Various combination packagings are known, which are constructed on the multi-chamber principle and are used for the storage or provision of liquids or of liquids and solids which are to be mixed with one another only when used. Before use the components must be kept separate because, on being mixed, they j either undergo a reaction or do not have an adequate shelf life in this form.
The known combination containers have the disadvantage that they are relatively awkward to handle. A further essential aspect is the increase in the price of the product resulting from the more expensive form of packaging. In the case of the known combination packagings, the production costs are as a rule substantially in excess of the costs which would be incurred with conventional individual packagings .
The object oi the invention is to provide a combination container for two different liquids which are easily mixed one with another, the container being of user-friendly design from ergonomic aspects (easy handling) and its costs not being substantially in excess of the costs of corresponding individual packagings with the same contents.
Accordingly the present invention provides a combination container for two liquids having two receptacles which are preferably but not necessarily concentric, the second receptacle being arranged inside the first receptacle, in which d &
a) a mounting for the second receptacle Is attached within the periphery of the aperture of the first receptacle by securing means;
b) the mounting is provided with a central Internal thread, which fits onto an external thread located on the neck of the second receptacle;
c) the mounting is further provided with perforations or apertures adapted to allow a liquid contained in the first recptacle to be poured out;
d) sealing film is provided which is adapted to cover and seal the apertures of the first receptacle and the aperture of the second receptacle when the container has been filled;
e) the apertures of the first receptacle and the aperture of the second receptacle are arranged for closure by a single cap;
£) the cap is detachably mountable at the neck of the receptacle by screw thread connection; and
g) the cap is provided with a sealing disc of elastic material which is adapted to cover the aperture of the second receptacle.
Preferably the securing means is an annular undercut on the first receptacle and an underlying shaped portion of the internal periphery of the aperture of the first receptacle, which portion engages a shoulder arranged on the periphery of the mounting, or is cooperating notch elements on the mounting and the first receptacle adapted to operate as a bayonet fitting.
Preferably, the first receptacle consists of a canister having a rectangular or square cross-section, and the second receptacle of a commercially available plastic bottle of the same he ight.
The mounting for the second receptacle advantageously consists of webs, between which segment-shaped apertures remainAdvantageously, aids to opening in the form of 5 spikes, cams or frustum-like raised portions are attached to the top of the screw cap.
The following advantages are obtained by means of the innovation:
a) The combination container is characterised by * easy and operationally safe (clean) handling, and is therefore notably user-friendly. .
b) The production costs are low and can virtually * compete with the necessary costs of comparable individual packagings. A decisive feature here 15 is that only one additional component (mounting) is necessary, and that otherwise only commercially available components, slightly modified at the most, are used.
c) The combination container possesses high mechanical strength combined with relatively low intrinsic weight.
d) A substantial production advantage lies in the fact that standard filling plants can still be used for filling. Normally a change in the form of packaging entails major modifications to the production lines, so that production is made more expensive.
ϊ
In the which follows, an exemplary embodiment of the innovation is explained in detail with reference to the drawings,,
Jn the drawings:
fig» 1 shows an overall view of an elevation of the combination container, fig.. 2 shows a plan view of the mounting for the second receptacle, fig» 3 shows a Lateral view of the mounting, ρ
Fig» 4 shows a plan view of the screw cap and fig» 5 shows a lateral view of the screw cap» (ή The combination container according to fig» 1 consists of a double receptacle, which consists of a canister 1 having s square cross-section and of a bottle 2 located therein» The bottle 2 is arranged in the middle of the canister 1 and, for reasons of Mechanical strength, rests on the base 3 of the canister 1 (the gap between the base of the bottle and the base of the canister, shown in Fig. 1, is in fact not present)» A circular beading 4 is moulded into the base 3 of the canister 1 and serves to secure the bottle 2» The canister 1 is of the same height as the bottle 2; that is to say that the apertures of the two receptacles are situated at the same height» A mounting 5 for the bottle 2 is inserted in the canister aperture tat the top end. The mounting 5 is attached fit the periphery of the efinister aperture by means of a circular undercut 6 or by means of notch elements
According to fig» 2 and fig» 3, the mounting 5 consists of a circular disc having segment-shaped (apertures 7, between which webs 8 remain» A shoulder 9 is arranged on the periphery of the counting, and rests on the internal periphery of the canister aperture (fig» 1)· t . In the middle of the mounting is located fi circular aper35 ture 10 having an internet thread 11, so that the mounting 5 can be screwed onto the bottle 2»
The screw cap 12 having a thread 13 according to FigSe & and 5 serves to close the double receptacloe The screw cap 12 covers the apertures 7 (outlet apertures of the canister 1) and the central aperture in the bottle 2«
The combination container filled with the two different liquids is sealed, in the packaging plant, with a metal-laminated plastic film 14, which has to be opened or removed before use of the pack» For this purpose, aids to opening in the form of spikes 15, cams and frustum- % shaped raised portions 16 are attached to the top of the screw cap 12e The screw cap 12 has cans 17 on the outer periphery to improve the purchase» Moreover, a sealing disc 10 of foamed polyethylene, covering the aperture of the bottle 2Z is arranged on the lid surface of the screw cap» The sealing disc 18 is intended to provide even greater safety in the event of unintentional mixing of the liquids in the canister 1 and the bottle 2. Due to the sealing disc 18, the contents of the bottle 2 are protected, in the region of the bottle aperture, against the liquid from the canister 1, for example even in the event of a tear in or damage to the sealing film 14.
The canister 1 and the bottle 2 are commercially available receptacles which are produced from polyethylene or a similar, suitable packaging material by the blow25 moulding process» The mounting 5 is advantageously produced by injection moulding» The procedure? for assembling the combination container is that the bottle 2 is first screwed into the «Quoting 5 and the mounting with the bottle 2 is then inserted into the canister 1. The two different liquids are then metered info the canister 1 find the bottle 2 in o standard filling plant» After filling, the two containers 1 and 2 are closed with the pealing files 14 and the screw cap 12 is attaaehed»
Mhen the pack is used, the screw cap 12 is first removed and the sealing fit© 14 is pierced by means of the aids fo opening 15 and 16» The container is then emptied into ® $υ1t mb I vessel^ with thes ape r t urc« dounward» &hen this H done^ the W liquids emerge simultaneously anti ®ija together» The two liquids ean be solutions or $1$® per sions·
The nou eoahinatIon container is primarily con=· ceived as a packaging means lor the tuo liquid components whieh belong together but require to be stored separately of crop protection formulations which are prepared aihen required by miming the two t1quidso Xn comparison to the individual packagings hitherto customary#, substantial ly simpler handling and hence also increased safety in dealing with such substances ere achieved,,
