Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein neues Zweikammer-Behältnis mit gegenüber bekannten Zweikammerpackungen vereinfachtem Aufbau, jedoch verbesserter Funktionsfähigkeit.The present invention relates to a new two-chamber container with a simplified structure compared to known two-chamber packs, but with improved functionality.
Zweikammer-Behälter, die insbesondere zur Konfektionierung kosmetischer Mittel, die Bestandteile enthalten, die bis zu ihrer Anwendung getrennt gehalten werden müssen, da sie sonst miteinander reagieren, vorgesehen sind, sind bereits in mannigfaltigen Erscheinungsformen bekannt geworden.Two-chamber containers, which are intended in particular for the packaging of cosmetic compositions which contain components which must be kept separate until they are used, since they otherwise react with one another, have already become known in a variety of forms.
Hinzuweisen ist beispielsweise auf den Doppelkammer-Behälter nach der DE-A 35 28 525, der aus zwei getrennt befüllbaren, übereinander liegenden, zusammensetzbaren Behälterkammern besteht, welche durch ein wenigstens einen Teil der Bodenwand der oberen Behälterkammer bildendes und die untere Behälterkammer verschließendes Trennelement gegeneinander abgeschlossen sind, das durch ein von außen betätigbares Stößelelement geöffnet werden kann, so daß die Komponenten zusammenfließen können und miteinander vermischbar sind, wobei das Trennelement als dicht in einen Durchlaßkanal zwischen der oberen und der unteren Behälterkammer eingesetzter Verschlußstopfen, der durch senkrechte Verschiebung des an ihn angreifenden Stößelelements aus dem Durchlaßkanal in eine der Behälterkammern verdrängbar ist, ausgebildet ist.Reference should be made, for example, to the double-chamber container according to DE-A 35 28 525, which consists of two separately fillable, stackable, stackable container chambers, which are sealed off from one another by a separating element forming at least part of the bottom wall of the upper container chamber and closing the lower container chamber are, which can be opened by an externally actuated plunger element, so that the components can flow together and can be mixed with one another, the separating element being inserted as a sealing plug into a passage channel between the upper and the lower container chamber, which is activated by vertical displacement of the attacking element Tappet element is displaceable from the passage into one of the container chambers.
Eine Weiterentwicklung dieses Zweikammer-Behältnisses stellt der in der DE-A 38 12 343 beschriebene Doppelkammer-Behälter dar, dessen Durchlaßkanal zwischen zwei übereinander angeordneten Behälterkammern mittels eines Trennstopfens verschlossen ist, der mit einem Stößelelement verbunden ist, das als langgestreckte und sich durch die obere Behälterkammer bis in deren offene Mündung erstreckende hohle Auftragsdüse ausgebildet ist, wobei das Stößelelement auf seiner Außenseite mit einem Außengewinde versehen ist, welches mit einem komplementären Gegengewinde in Eingriff steht, das in einem von der Stirnwand eine die obere Behälterkammer zumindest teilweise übergreifenden, drehbar auf ihr gehaltenen und sie abdichtenden Drehkappe in die offene Oberseite der oberen Behälterkammer vorstehenden zylindrischen Ringvorsprung ausgebildet ist. Durch Drehen der Drehkappe im Sinne eines Hineinschraubens der Auftragsdüse in diesen Ringvorsprung ist das freie Ende der Auftragsdüse aus der Stirnwand herausdrückbar.A further development of this two-chamber container is the double-chamber container described in DE-A 38 12 343, the passage of which between two container chambers arranged one above the other is closed by means of a separating plug which is connected to a plunger element which is elongated and extends through the upper one Container chamber is formed into the open mouth extending hollow application nozzle, the plunger element is provided on its outside with an external thread which is in engagement with a complementary mating thread which rotates on it in an from the end wall at least partially overlapping the upper container chamber held and sealing rotary cap is formed in the open top of the upper container chamber projecting cylindrical ring projection. The free end of the application nozzle can be pushed out of the end wall by rotating the rotary cap in the sense of screwing the application nozzle into this annular projection.
Aus der DE-A 36 11 925 ist eine Taillenflasche mit in der Taillenebene angeordnetem Stopfen zur Aufteilung des Flaschenvolumens in zwei voneinander getrennte Räume, die durch Herausdrücken des Stopfens aus der Taillenebene in den der Flaschenverschlußkappe abgekehrt liegenden Raum miteinander verbindbar sind, bekannt, die so ausgestaltet ist, daß beide Räume ein relativ großes Volumen aufweisen, wobei für das Mischverhältnis beliebige Füllstände vorliegen können, aber trotzdem die zu vermischenden Komponenten sicher zusammengeführt werden. Dies wird dadurch bewerkstelligt, daß zwischen dem Stopfen und der mit dem Schraubgewinde aufsitzenden Flaschenverschlußkappe eine Stangenverbindung derart hergestellt ist, daß die Verschlußkappe eine Stoßschulter besitzt, welche auf dem Stirnende der Verbindungsstange aufliegt.From DE-A 36 11 925 a waist bottle with a stopper arranged in the waist level for dividing the bottle volume into two separate spaces, which can be connected to one another by pushing the stopper out of the waist level into the space facing away from the bottle cap, is known is designed such that both rooms have a relatively large volume, with any filling levels being possible for the mixing ratio, but nevertheless the components to be mixed are safely brought together. This is accomplished in that a rod connection is made between the stopper and the bottle cap with the screw thread in such a way that the cap has a butt shoulder which rests on the front end of the connecting rod.
Alle diese beschriebenen Zweikammer-Behälter stellen einsetzbare Verpackungssysteme dar, von denen in der Praxis auch Gebrauch gemacht wird. Sie sind jedoch relativ kompliziert aufgebaut, da sie aus vielen Einzelteilen bestehen, was ihre Fertigung und Konfektionierung verhältnismäßig teuer gestaltet.All of these two-chamber containers described are usable packaging systems, which are also used in practice. However, they are relatively complicated because they consist of many individual parts, which makes their manufacture and assembly relatively expensive.
Die vorliegende Erfindung geht daher von der Aufgabenstellung aus, einen mit einem Trennstopfen zum Verschließen von übereinander angeordneten, bis zur Anwendung getrennt gehaltenen einzelnen Abteilungen ausgestatteten Zweikammer-Behälter zu schaffen, der einfach herstellbar und konfektionierbar ist, wenig Einzelbauteile aufweist, jedoch eine sichere Trennung der bis zur Anwendung voneinander getrennt zu haltenden Produkte und, im Anwendungsfall, ein zuverlässiges Vermischen dieser Bestandteile und die Abgabe des Gemisches gestattet.The present invention is therefore based on the task of providing a two-chamber container equipped with a separating plug for closing individual departments arranged one above the other and kept separate for use, which is simple to produce and assemble, has few individual components, but does reliably separate the products to be kept separate from each other until use and, in the application, a reliable mixing of these components and the release of the mixture.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein Zweikammer-Behälter geschaffen wird, der einstückig aus einem Ober- und einem Unterteil besteht, die an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen beiden durch einen Stopfen getrennt sind, und der die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs aufweist.This object is achieved in that a two-chamber container is created, which consists in one piece of an upper and a lower part, which are separated by a plug at the connection point between the two, and which has the features of the main claim.
Die Figuren 1 und 2 illustrieren den erfindungsgemäßen Behälter. Figur 1 zeigt beispielhaft einen Behälter im geschlossenen, Figur 2 denselben im geöffneten Zustand.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the container according to the invention. Figure 1 shows an example of a container in the closed, Figure 2 the same in the open state.
Im einzelnen besteht ein einstückig ausgebildetes Zweikammer-Behältnis (1) aus zwei übereinander angeordneten Abteilungen (2) und (3), die durch eine Durchlaßöffnung (4), vorzugsweise mit gegenüber dem Gesamtumfang des Behältnisses reduziertem Durchmesser, miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Durchlaßöffnung ist durch einen Stopfen (5) verschlossen, der mit einem in den oberen Behälterteil (3) hineinreichenden Verbindungsglied (6) verbunden ist, das an seinem Ende ein scheibenförmiges, tellerartiges oder rechteckiges, beispielsweise quadratisches, Teil (7) aufweist, das vorzugsweise hinterschnitten ist.In particular, a one-piece two-chamber container (1) consists of two superposed compartments (2) and (3) which are connected to each other by a passage opening (4), preferably with a reduced diameter compared to the overall circumference of the container. This passage opening is closed by a plug (5) which is connected to a connecting member (6) which extends into the upper container part (3) and which has at its end a disc-shaped, plate-like or rectangular, for example square, part (7) which is preferably undercut.
Die Außenwand des oberen Behälterteils (3) ist teilweise von einer Verschlußkappe (8) umgeben, die bei Anwendung der gebrauchsfertigen Mischung entfernt wird. Diese Verschlußkappe (8) ist über eine elastische Membran (9) einstückig mit einer Handhabe (10) verbunden, deren unterer Teil (11) in das Oberteil (3) des Behälters hineinreicht und hakenförmig (12) ausgebildet ist und das obere Teil (7) des Verbindungsgliedes (6) formschlüssig untergreift. Der aus dem Behältnis (1) herausragende obere Teil der Handhabe (10) ist mit einem verdickten Ende (13) versehen, um das Herausziehen des Stopfens (5) zu gestatten.The outer wall of the upper container part (3) is partially surrounded by a cap (8) which is removed when the ready-to-use mixture is used. This cap (8) is connected in one piece via an elastic membrane (9) to a handle (10), the lower part (11) of which extends into the upper part (3) of the container and is hook-shaped (12) and the upper part (7 ) of the connecting member (6) engages in a form-fitting manner. The upper part of the handle (10) protruding from the container (1) is provided with a thickened end (13) in order to allow the plug (5) to be pulled out.
Dies geschieht, sobald das getrennt abgepackte Produkt angewandt werden soll:
Das verdickte Ende (13) der Handhabe (10) wird nach oben bewegt und die elastische Membran (9) dadurch nach außen gestülpt; durch die Einwirkung des hakenförmigen unteren Endes (12) der Handhabe (10) auf das obere, scheibenförmig oder rechteckig ausgebildete Ende (7) des Verbindungsgliedes (6) wird der Stopfen (5) aus der Durchlaßöffnung (4) herausgezogen, wodurch sich die Inhalte der unterschiedlichen Abteilungen (2) und (3) vermischen und dem Behältnis entnommen werden können. Auf diese Weise wird ein aufgrund seiner geringen Zahl an Einzelteilen zuverlässiges Doppelkammer-System zur Verfügung gestellt.This happens as soon as the separately packaged product is to be used:
The thickened end (13) of the handle (10) is moved upwards and the elastic membrane (9) is thereby turned outwards; by the action of the hook-shaped lower end (12) of the handle (10) on the upper, disc-shaped or rectangular end (7) of the connecting member (6), the plug (5) is pulled out of the passage opening (4), whereby the contents the different departments (2) and (3) mix and can be removed from the container. In this way, a reliable double-chamber system is made available due to its small number of individual parts.
Die Füllung und Konfektionierung des erfindungsgemäßen Zweikammer-Behältnisses erfolgt auf denkbar einfache Weise: Zunächst wird das untere Behälterteil (2) mit einer Lösung, Emulsion, Dispersion, etc. gefüllt, dann die Durchlaßöffnung (4) durch den Stopfen (5) verschlossen, das obere Behälterteil (3) gefüllt, und anschließend die Verschlußkappe (8) mit ihren integrierten Teilen aufgebracht und das Gesamtbehältnis (1) verschlossen.The two-chamber container according to the invention is filled and packaged in a very simple manner: first, the lower container part (2) is filled with a solution, emulsion, dispersion, etc., then the passage opening (4) is closed by the stopper (5), which filled the upper container part (3), and then the closure cap (8) with its integrated parts applied and the entire container (1) closed.
Das erfindungsgemäße Zweikammer-Behältnis kann prinzipiell zur Verpackung jedes Produkttyp dienen, der aus zwei Zusammensetzungen besteht, die bis zur Anwendung voneinander getrennt gehalten werden müssen, da sie erst unmittelbar vor bzw. bei der Anwendung miteinander reagieren sollen.In principle, the two-chamber container according to the invention can be used for packaging any type of product which consists of two compositions which must be kept separate from one another until use, since they should only react with one another immediately before or during use.
Vorzugsweise wird das erfindungsgemäße System in der Kosmetik eingesetzt, beispielsweise in der Haarpflege. Geeignete Produkte sind insbesondere Haarfärbemittel auf Basis von Oxidationsfarbstoffen, die Oxidationsfarbstoff-Vorprodukte einerseits und Oxidationsmittel andererseits bis zur Anwendung getrennt enthalten, und Dauerwellmittel, beispielsweise solche auf Basis von Glycerinmonothioglykolat, die bis zur Anwendung vom wäßrigen Rest der Gesamtzusammensetzung getrennt gehalten werden müssen.The system according to the invention is preferably used in cosmetics, for example in hair care. Suitable products are, in particular, hair colorants based on oxidation dyes, which contain oxidation dye precursors on the one hand and oxidizing agents on the other hand, separately until use, and permanent waving agents, for example those based on glycerol monothioglycolate, which must be kept separate from the aqueous rest of the overall composition until use.
Die Teile des erfindungsgemäßen Zweikammer-Behältnisses bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Polyester und Polyamid.The parts of the two-chamber container according to the invention preferably consist of plastic, for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester and polyamide.
Das Gesamtbehältnis kann aus Polyester-Polyamid-Coextrudat bestehen; die Verschlußkappe mit der integrierten elastischen Membran besteht vorzugsweise aus Polyethylen, ebenso der Verschlußstopfen.The entire container can consist of polyester-polyamide coextrudate; the sealing cap with the integrated elastic membrane is preferably made of polyethylene, as is the sealing plug.
