Definitions

  • the invention relates to a can-shaped packaging for in particular free-flowing products, consisting of a bottom-closed sleeve made of cardboard or a multi-layer composite made of cardboard and / or plastic and / or metal and a cup-shaped lid which can be inserted into the sleeve and has a bottom, an essentially cylindrical, the inside of the sleeve adjacent side wall and an upper ring part which has on the outside a step lying on the end face of the sleeve and an inwardly retracted grip edge.
  • Packaging of the aforementioned type is known in a variety of embodiments.
  • the sleeve either consists only of cardboard or of a multi-layer composite with a high proportion of cardboard, possibly an inner and / or outer plastic coating and, if special requirements arise, of an aluminum foil as a gas and moisture barrier layer.
  • Such packaging is usually on the lid side by a sealed membrane and are closed after filling through their open bottom side on this by a bottom, for example made of tinplate, aluminum, plastic, cardboard or cardboard composite. The consumer tears open the membrane in order to be able to remove the packaged goods.
  • a separate lid which is usually made of plastic as an injection molded part.
  • Such packaging is not sorted, so that it is difficult to dispose of it.
  • the sleeve possibly also the bottom of the packaging and in particular the plastic cover, must be disposed of separately.
  • the disposal costs in turn depend on the type of packaging material. For example, cardboard or cardboard composite materials with a high proportion of cardboard cause significantly lower disposal costs than plastics.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a packaging of the structure mentioned above so that a simple and, above all, less expensive disposal is possible.
  • the lid consists of a deep-drawn part made of cardboard or cardboard composite comprising its bottom and side wall and a separately produced ring part connected to the deep-drawn part.
  • the larger part of the lid — in terms of volume and weight — consists of a cardboard or cardboard composite, which causes comparatively low disposal costs, while the ring part has a comparatively small volume and weight. If necessary, this ring part can also be easily separated from the deep-drawn part and disposed of separately.
  • the two-part design makes it possible to shape the part of the cover consisting of the bottom and side wall by deep drawing.
  • the ring part can be made of plastic and can be connected to the deep-drawn part by injection molding, gluing or the like, the ring part covering the end face or cutting edge of the side wall of the deep-drawn part, possibly also overlapping, in order to protect this edge against damage, moisture, etc.
  • the ring part is made as a cup-shaped molded part from cardboard or cardboard composite with a bottom and a side wall, the bottom of which is partially punched out to form the grip edge and which conversely is placed on the deep-drawn part with its side wall overlapping on the outside and is connected to the side wall of the deep-drawn part by gluing or heat sealing.
  • the ring part and thus the entire lid is made of cardboard or a cardboard composite, so that the entire packaging can be described as sorted and can therefore be disposed of inexpensively.
  • the cup-shaped molded part forming the ring part engages over the deep-drawn part like a slip lid. After the assembly, the deep-drawn part and the molded part are connected to one another in the region of the adjacent wall sections by means of adhesive, heat-sealing adhesive or the like. The two parts, which interlock with each other, result a dimensionally stable structure that easily withstands the forces that arise during use.
  • cup-shaped molded part forming the ring part is formed on its essentially cylindrical wall inwards to form a double layer, wherein it overlaps the side wall of the deep-drawn part with the double-layer wall and is connected to it in this area.
  • Another exemplary embodiment is characterized in that the bottom of the ring part is bent inwards at the edge of the punched-out portion forming the grip edge. This measure serves in particular to stiffen the base in the area of the punched-out area and the cutting edge present at this point is also shifted inwards.
  • the bottom of the ring part at the edge of the punch-out forming the handle edge is bent inwards up to the double layer.
  • the edge of the handle that is subjected to the greatest stress is highly rigid due to the double layer, so that even with a small wall thickness of the starting material there is sufficient strength.
  • the ring part made of cardboard or cardboard composite can be manufactured in different ways.
  • the cup-shaped molded part forming the ring part can be produced by deep-drawing a cardboard or cardboard composite.
  • the cup-shaped molded part forming the ring part can be produced from an essentially cylindrical sleeve made of cardboard or cardboard composite by crimping the wall of the sleeve on one end face up to the double layer and then bending the double-layered wall inwards, the double-layered wall forming the bottom with the Grip edge forms and the remaining single-layer, cylindrical wall of the sleeve is connected to the side wall of the deep-drawn part of the cover.
  • the aforementioned process is based on a cylindrical sleeve, which inherently has good dimensional stability. This is retained in the cylindrical section which remains even after the shaping, while in the flanged and inwardly bent section which forms the grip edge, increased rigidity is obtained through the double layer.
  • This manufacturing method furthermore makes it possible to provide the sleeve in its single-layer cylindrical section with a label, a print or the like on the outside before it is formed. This applies in particular to the section of the sleeve which remains cylindrical, since there are no forming forces which could damage the labeling or the printing.
  • the ring part at its periphery at the transition between the bottom and the side wall can have an inwardly drawn, circumferential stacking step, which centers and fixes a similar type of packaging in the area of its bottom.
  • the cover 2 consists of a deep-drawn part 3, which is made of a cardboard or cardboard composite board.
  • the deep-drawn part 3 consequently has a bottom 4 and a substantially cylindrical side wall 5, the outline of the deep-drawn part 3 essentially corresponding to the inner contour of the sleeve 1, so that it can engage in the sleeve relatively well.
  • the cover 2 has a ring part 6, which in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 consists of plastic and is sprayed onto the open cutting edge 7 of the deep-drawn part 3. It therefore has the ring part 6 an inner wall web 8 and an outer wall web 9, with which it engages over the cutting edge 7.
  • the outer wall web 9 also forms a step 10 with which the ring part covers the open cutting edge 11 of the sleeve 1. At the same time, the step 10 serves as a limit stop when the cover 2 is placed on the sleeve 1.
  • the ring part 6 also has a central opening 12 with the formation of a grip edge 13, which the user can grip behind with his fingers to lift off the cover 2 or again to put on.
  • the bottom 4 of the deep-drawn part 3 has a depression 14 in the central region, which serves primarily to stiffen the disk-shaped bottom 4.
  • the lid again consists of the deep-drawn part 3, which is constructed in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG Fig. 1, however, the ring member 6 is designed differently.
  • the deep-drawn part 3 consists of a cup-shaped molded part. This cup-shaped molded part is formed by the base 15 and the wall 16, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is bent inwards to form a double layer, the inner layer 17 lying against the outside of the side wall 5 of the deep-drawn part and being connected to it there.
  • the open cutting edge 7 of the side wall 5 of the deep-drawn part 3 is covered by the cup-shaped molded part forming the ring part 6.
  • the bottom 15 of the deep-drawn ring part 6 has a punched-out area 18 through which the grip edge is formed.
  • the base 15 is bent inwards in the region of the cut edge 19 of the punched-out portion 18, so that a stiffening ring is created and thus a stable grip edge 13 is created.
  • the lid 2 is pulled inwards at its periphery to form a stacking step 20, so that a similar packaging can be placed on the sleeve 1 and centered and fixed on the stacking step.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment which is simplified compared to FIG. 2, in which the double layer in the region of the side wall 16 and the retracted grip edge are dispensed with.
  • Both embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 3 can be produced by punching and deep drawing from a blank or from a ring, the embodiment according to FIG. 3 requiring additional bending processes to produce the grip edge 13 and the double layer 17.
  • the same cup-shaped deep-drawn part 3 is again provided, while the Ring part is designed differently. 2 and 3, it has a cylindrical (circular-cylindrical, oval or rectangular) side wall 16, but the bottom 15 of the cup-shaped molded part is folded inwards to form the double layer 21.
  • This molded part is produced from a cylindrical sleeve, the cross section of which corresponds to that of the side wall 16. This sleeve is first crimped so that the double layer 21 is formed, and then this double-layer region is bent inwards by approximately 90 °, so that the grip edge 13 is formed.
  • the sleeve can be printed or labeled in the area of the outer side 28 of the cylindrical side wall before it is formed.
