Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-chambered container suitable for use as a pressurized fluid container, such as a beverage container (e.g., beverage can).
  • a chamber of this container is provided for storing an additive, which after filling the liquid container and its closure remain separate from the liquid, but should be mixed in opening the liquid container in the liquid, without requiring any external external influence than the sudden pressure drop that occurs when opening.
  • Such a container is from the EP 1 073 593 known. It has two chambers, namely a product chamber for the additive and a pressure chamber, and is formed of two parts, which result in joining these two chambers.
  • the pressure chamber communicates with the environment via a small-sized opening in the side wall, so that at the time of opening the liquid container, eg a can, it has the same pressure prevailing in the main chamber of the can.
  • the connection between the two parts of the two-chamber container jumps, and the contents of the product chamber can pour into the inside of the can.
  • These may be any liquid or solid materials, for example vitamins, flavorings, dietary supplements or dyes.
  • this two-chamber container is attached to the bottom of a beverage container.
  • a multi-chambered insert such as that described above not be secured to the ground or other location covered by liquid when the liquid container is upright, may float freely in the liquid. Because then he may have previously completed spatially separated from the filling process of the can and provided with the desired additive. It is then thrown into the can at the completion of the filling process, and it can then be closed immediately without the need for any additional measures.
  • the box must have appropriate fasteners, such as grooves for a click closure, or one of the two-chamber sections is fixed in advance in the box, depending on the geometry of this part or its counterpart with the additive is filled and finally the two parts are joined together, for which in the latter case the can upside down must be made. Even after filling the box must then be turned upside down again, so that the small-sized opening of the pressure chamber for the purpose of pressure equalization with the gas space in the can comes into contact.
  • an inner container of the type described does not work satisfactorily. Because it is not sufficient criterion for a floating application that dissolves due to the pressure difference when opening the liquid container, the lid at any point of the outer wall of the inner container. Rather, it has to be replaced with great certainty or reproducibility almost completely or completely around the wall of the product chamber and, if possible, be "blown away" by the gas pressure so that a sufficiently large opening is created through which the additive can enter the liquid.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a safer inner container.
  • an at least two-chambered container which is provided as a freely floating inner container or insert for a pressurized liquid container and a product chamber for receiving an additive and a pressure chamber having at least one outwardly opening with small-sized diameter (pressure equalization opening), wherein the geometry of pressure and product chamber is selected so that said opening is located above the liquid level when swimming, the side walls of the two chambers are designed at its upper end so that both chambers can be sealed by a single lid and in the seen cover-side view, the product chamber is surrounded at least laterally to the lid around the pressure chamber, characterized in that the lid has sealing means which at each of said side walls at a uniform distance from the j attacking end wall, and a distance (a) between a sealing line of the lid on the side wall of the pressure chamber and the end of this wall is greater than a distance (b) between a sealing line of the lid on the side wall of the product chamber and the line in the region of upper end of this product chamber side wall, where the seal no longer attacks.
  • sealing line between the cover and the side wall of the pressure chamber in the above sense is meant the center of the seal or, if the seal consists of several rings, the center of the seal farthest from the outer edge.
  • the inventive measure causes the following: Before opening the liquid container whose main space is under an overpressure.
  • the pressure chamber of the multi-chambered insert is in contact with its surroundings via a small-sized opening; it is therefore soon after closing the liquid container under the same internal pressure as the main room.
  • opening for example, for the purpose of consuming the beverage contained therein, arises due to the sudden pressure drop in the liquid container, a pressure difference to the pressure chamber, which can not break down quickly because of the small dimension of said opening.
  • the high pressure in the pressure chamber compared to the ambient pressure pushes the lid from its original seat upwards towards the end of the wall of the pressure chamber.
  • the shape and diameter of the small-sized opening are known in the art.
  • the insert according to the invention can be made of any material. Convenient materials are that have a certain flexibility. Preferably, the insert is made of plastic materials such as polyethylene (DE) or polypropylene (PP).
  • DE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • the reduced cross-section opening be arranged to be in the head space, i. Gas space of the surrounding packaging is located. This is especially important during the closure of the package and about one minute thereafter, but also during temperature and pressure cycles in the further life of the package. This is ensured by the present invention.
  • the seal between the lid and the walls of the product and pressure chamber is arranged in each case on the inside of these walls.
  • the lid may have corresponding steps for this purpose.
  • the product chamber wall is less far than the outer wall of the pressure chamber.
  • the seal to the product chamber wall can then be arranged, for example, on an extension of the cover extending perpendicularly to a relatively low-lying inner mirror, which jumps as far as required so that the cover can then continue again in the covering plane until the outer wall of the pressure chamber is reached.
  • the adjoining thereto the outside lid part can rest on the outer pressure chamber wall.
  • the seals are arranged on the outer sides of the respective side walls of product and pressure chamber.
  • one chooses the inside since in this case there is an increase of the contact pressure by the hydrostatic pressure increase in the pressure chamber. Accordingly, such a system is designed self-sealing.
  • both seals have a circular circulation, and more preferably they are concentric with each other.
  • Circular seals do not "breathe” but are stable because the pressure acts evenly on them everywhere. Seals with differently shaped contours or cross-sections are exposed to the prevailing pressure to varying degrees, so that they tend to give way under the influence of the internal pressure at a particularly loaded point, so that an early, unwanted pressure equalization can take place. If the seals are concentric with each other, the balance of forces is the most uniform; the effect described above is therefore the most reliable.
  • the circular shape of the seals assumes that the shape of both the product chamber and the pressure chamber is also circular at least at those locations where the lid is seated.
  • the product chamber has a cylindrical shape, wherein the lid then covers an end face of the cylinder.
  • conical shapes are also possible. If you also want to realize concentric seals, it is indeed possible to arrange the pressure chamber symmetrically tubular around the product chamber around. However, depending on the aspect ratio in these cases, the multi-chambered insert could come to lie vertically, with the lid facing up, in the liquid. The chance that after jumping off the lid on a pressure drop, the additive enters the liquid is relatively low, since all forces are symmetrical in the axial direction.
  • the pressure chamber such a shape that the center of gravity of the filled multi-chambered insert is not in the longitudinal axis of the product chamber, but is displaced laterally such that the insert obliquely, for example with an inclination of 30 to 60 ° on the liquid floats.
  • This can be achieved, for example, by the fact that the pressure chamber is arranged concentrically around the product chamber towards the lid, but is asymmetrical on its side facing away from the lid. An example of this is shown in FIG.
  • the product chamber is cylindrical in shape; in the lower part, however, the pressure chamber is not present on all sides of the pressure chamber. It forms by its shape a kind of swim bladder on one side of the insert.
  • the pressure chamber could be present everywhere around the product chamber, but in different thicknesses. Their diameter could change around the axial length seen all around or only on one side (so-called 3D freeforming). Also, the (axial) height at which the change sets in could be the same or different. It is also not absolutely necessary for the end face facing away from the cover to be flat or flat, as shown in FIG. 1, and for the pressure and product chambers to be flush on this side.
  • the pressure chamber could e.g. instead enclose the product chamber on the front side facing away from the cover and / or have a rounded shape. For manufacturing reasons, however, shapes such as those shown are relatively inexpensive.
  • the sealing means of the lid are preferably designed as circumferential bulges such as lips, lugs or other projections.
  • snap seals in which a bulge of the lid engages in a groove of the corresponding side wall, or so-called Tönnchendichtungen in which one, two or possibly even more projections with rounded, "tönnchen” -like shape against a smooth or with corresponding grooves Press the wall provided.
  • Its thickness is preferably in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter, e.g. about 0.1-0.6 mm.
  • the product chamber wall ends toward the lid in an inwardly rounded shape. It is particularly desirable if the rounding thins the wall approximately in a region (g), e.g. corresponds approximately to the material thickness of the wall (t). Then the sealing line in the center of the single seal or the seal furthest from the outer edge has a distance (b) to the beginning of the region (g). Furthermore, in this or other specific embodiment, the top wall end of this product chamber wall may have a distance (c), albeit relatively small, to that portion of the lid that extends outwardly therefrom.
  • One or the other of the two special embodiments can also be combined with the already described measure to provide two Tönnchen as a seal for the product chamber.
  • the sealing line of the lower cone has a distance (b) to the beginning of the region (g). If all three mentioned embodiments are realized together, the seal of the product chamber is then completely released when the inner Tönnchen has moved by a distance d- (g + c).
  • d- (g + c) b.
  • Figure 1 shows the geometry of an insert, in which both seals 8, 13 are circular and concentric.
  • Figure A shows the geometry from the side
  • Figure B illustrates it in the view from above.
  • a cylindrical product chamber 9 has a bottom 10 and a side wall 1.
  • the pressure chamber 11 is bounded by the bottom 12, by the inner side wall 1 and outer walls 2,2a, 2b, 2c.
  • the lid 3 closes with its part 7, the cylindrical product chamber, with its part 6, the pressure chamber 11.
  • the pressure chamber is in the lower, the lid facing away from the insert over a length h2 only on one side of the Pressure chamber available (wall 2) and forms a kind of swim bladder here.
  • the opening is also arranged with reduced cross-section (not shown).
  • the bottom-side outline of the product chamber can be seen as a circular line 7, that of the pressure chamber outer wall as a partially dashed line 14.
  • the side wall (2b) of the pressure chamber then extends obliquely outward from the height h3; on the opposite side of the same height h2 sets the outer wall 2a on the wall 1 and also extends obliquely, but at a more inclined angle to the outside.
  • Both wall parts open into an axially extending portion 2 c, which extends in a circular and concentric with the inner wall 1. This area must have at least a length h4 greater than a (the distance of the sealing line between the lid and the lateral outer wall 2c of the pressure chamber from the end of this outer wall, see description).
  • h1 The total height of the side walls 2,2a / 2b, 2c is designated h1. It should be clear that h2 and h3 are not necessarily the same; they may also differ from each other, in which case the inclinations of the walls 2a, 2b are to be adapted accordingly.
  • the inner diameter of the product chamber has the same value d1 over its entire axial length, the inner diameter of the outer walls 2c which are circular at its cover-side end has the value d2.
  • FIG. 2 shows the geometric relationships of the seals.
  • the wall 1 of the product chamber with the wall thickness (t) is rounded at its lid-side edge, in such a way that the rounding thins the wall in a region over a length (g), which corresponds approximately to the material thickness (t). It is less high than the pressure chamber wall and is chosen so that the lid of the wall can (but does not have to) have a non-zero distance (c).
  • the lid 3 touches the inside of the product chamber wall 1 in the region of the seal, which consists of Tönnchen 4a, 4b.
  • the Tönnchen have circumferentially a width (f) and a thickness (e) ⁇ (f).
  • the lid diameter has in its inner part including the sealant (the Tönnchen) a diameter of d3, the diameter of the product chamber is designated d1. For d3> d1, the cover is pressed in place.
  • outer wall 2c is located below the upper end circumferentially a groove into which a Schnapptönnchen 5 sealingly engages.
  • the groove is disposed at a distance (a) from the upper end of the wall; the outermost part 3a of the lid 3 rests on it.
  • the outer wall 2c is at least in a region h4 coaxial with the product side wall, which is greater than the distance (a), ie the distance between the lid seal 5 and the side wall of the pressure chamber 2c from the end of this wall.
  • the inner seal by the two tuyeres 4a, 4b is already good enough to withstand small pressures ( ⁇ 1 bar). Thereby, the lid is pressed into the lower part, so that it rests firmly on the end of the product chamber wall. Then the system can withstand pressures up to a few bar.
  • this figure also shows that also the seal between the lid and the outer wall of the pressure chamber has a press fit when the diameter of the lid including the sealant (snap dart), d4, is larger than the lid-side inner diameter d2 of the product chamber.
