Definitions

  • the invention relates to a can with a membrane closure, in which a closure membrane is sealed on a peripheral in the head region of the can jacket fully circumferential bead to effectively counteract the peel forces caused by the contact surface of the membrane with the can jacket in the event of an occurring inside the can overpressure to act.
  • Cans are resealable by means of a closure after opening, others, especially disposable cans, are emptied after opening and, depending on the material from which they are made, are disposed of as waste.
  • Cans are usually made of cardboard, plastic or a thin sheet metal material.
  • a membrane film As a closure material for cans, a membrane film, usually made of paper or aluminum, is often used. There are a large number of known solutions, of which only a few types are to be listed here. Frequently, a membrane foil in the form of a plate closing the can opening with projecting collar is sealed by means of this collar in the region of the can opening to the inner wall of the can.
  • a membrane foil in the form of a plate closing the can opening with projecting collar is sealed by means of this collar in the region of the can opening to the inner wall of the can.
  • EP 0 700 838 a can with a slightly upwards opening in the head area, a conical can jacket, to which a sealing membrane is sealed inside.
  • CH 564456A a can according to the preamble of claim 1, with a membrane closure and a curb extending circumferentially on the edge of the can forms a bead on the inside of the can, whose task is to cooperate with a Einsteckdeckel in the form of a snap closure.
  • the membrane is in a subsequent to the bead Solltrenn Scheme sealingly connected to the cylindrical part of the can inner wall.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the goal of the stated disadvantages of the known prior art in cans with membrane closures remove.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention, especially by providing a can, in the head area, just below the can edge, preferably at a distance of 1 to a maximum of 10 mm below the edge of the can, extending over the entire circumference of the can, inwardly directed bead on whose top is sealed a sealing membrane.
  • top is to be understood in this context, the edge of the can side facing the bead.
  • bottom is the inside of the cans facing side of the bead to understand.
  • the bead according to the invention has a sufficient axial extent and, where appropriate, can be produced by rolling in a single operation, in a manner known per se. It can also hardly feather when sealing the sealing membrane, such as a membrane film. As a result, the connection of the can-closing membrane membrane is made more stable with the can jacket and still not difficult the tearing of the membrane film. Due to the inventive design of the bead after the FIGS. 1 and 3b In addition, the can is easily as good as completely empty and the weakening of the can jacket remains minimal. The arrangement of the bead directly or just below the edge of the can, the inner volume of the can is fully utilized to the upper limit of possibility.
  • the present invention relates to a can with a membrane closure which, in the region of the can opening, preferably at a distance of 1 to 10 mm from the edge of the can, has a bead running around the entire circumference of the can in the can jacket, which is provided with a closure membrane, for example a membrane foil. in particular a tear-open film, is sealingly connected and wherein the can opening to the can or edge facing upper part and pointing to the can interior lower part of the bead - viewed vertically mounted box - equally or alternately either horizontally or obliquely inwards.
  • any combination of horizontal and / or oblique bead upper and lower part is within the scope of the present invention.
  • the dense bond between sealing membrane and can bead can be achieved by suitable measures such as by gluing or heat sealing.
  • the membrane film which may preferably be made of paper or aluminum, with the obliquely or horizontally extending top of the bead either with the help of applied adhesive on this part - either fresh or after its cooling in a later episode by heat - tight to connect, or to seal using a heat seal layer applied to the film.
  • this also ensures a better retention of the membrane film against unwanted removal (peeling) of the film from the bead from the inside, because in the direction of lifting of the adhesive surface only part of the upward, internal force is effective.
  • An Indian Fig. 1 illustrated can jacket 1 has at its upper edge of the can 8 a bead 4. Somewhat below the upper edge of the can 8, ie preferably at a distance of 1 to 10 mm from the edge of the can, an inwardly facing, semicircular bead 3 is formed. On the to upper edge of the can 8 facing side 3a of the bead 3 is in a conventional manner, a membrane film 5 sealed 2, which may have a known tear tab, not shown. According to the invention, however, the membrane film is at least partially sealed to the top of the bead, preferably both at the top of the bead and at the adjoining, rectilinear portion of the can inner wall.
  • the can body 1 is provided with a triangular bead 3, the edges or transitions in the can jacket, however, are preferably rounded.
  • a membrane film 5 is sealed. 2. Because this section runs obliquely, the internal force acting on the membrane film 5 and originating from the can pressure is only partially effective as a peeling force. Thus, the metal foil 5 can afford greater resistance to unwanted and unwanted detachment.
  • the can jacket 1 can also be completed with a lid 7, which is held in a form-fitting manner at the upper edge of the can 8, by engaging over the edge of the can 8 and preferably at least partially engages with a bead 6 in the bead 3.
  • the embodiment allows according to Fig. 3b with a sloping bottom 3b of the bead 3 a residue-free, complete emptying of the contents of the can.
  • the curvature of the bead between the - when erected box - horizontally extending, rectilinear upper part 3a to the oblique lower part 3b can be both edged and rounded.
  • the oblique lower part 3b can be both rectilinear and curved, wherein the angle relative to the - when erected box - horizontal, straight upper part 3a of the bead 3 is of minor importance and any deviation of the lower part 3b from a horizontal course a complete emptying the can relieved.
  • the bead according to the invention may, for example, have a clear (axial) height of 50%, optionally about 100 to 150% of its radial depth. But she can also do one Have lower clear height, in particular in the case of a - with upright box - horizontally extending top 3a of the bead 3 according to the FIGS. 3a and 3b ,
