Definitions
- the invention relates to a can with a closure membrane made of plastic, which is connected to the can body via a predetermined separation area, a handle tab being integrally formed on the part of the closure membrane spanning the can opening.
- a can of this type is known from CH-PS 453 117. Its sealing membrane is made in one piece from plastic by injection molding with the grip tab and a thick reinforcement ring provided for engaging a separate can lid. Your target separation area consists of a weakening groove.
- the production of such a sealing membrane in spraying technology is associated with a high outlay in terms of equipment and time, so that such cans have not been widely used and metal membranes are used almost exclusively for sealing membranes.
- the grip tab is either glued on (DE-OS 20 61 497) or punched out of the membrane film. When punching out (DE-PS 26 15 812) the resulting incision must be closed by an additional piece of film.
- the invention has for its object to find a can of the type mentioned, which can be easily manufactured with little equipment and high productivity, without the need for environmentally damaging metal or aluminum foil material for the sealing membrane.
- this object is achieved in that the sealing membrane with the grip tab consists of a deep-drawn plastic film, so that the grip tab is double-walled.
- the double-walled grip tab which is consequently vertically upward, can be bent flatly onto the membrane surface with little effort when putting on a conventional bowl cover, so that when the cover is loosened, it can be partially upwards again springs back into an inclined position within easy reach.
- the plastic deep-drawing mold for the production of a sealing membrane for a can according to the invention has a much simpler structure, since only one of them is shaped by the blow molding process Mold half, ie a die is required, because heating the plastic film allows it to be deep-drawn with little force. Only a relatively simple tool is required to produce a cross-sectional reduction in the sealing membrane to form a predetermined separation area, since the corresponding deformation takes place with little effort by a heated embossing tool.
- the sealing membrane 1 has a cylindrical wall 2 which has different cross-sectional shapes, e.g. circular, oval, square with rounded corners, etc. can have.
- the cylindrical wall is adjoined by an edge 3 which is bent downward and thus U-shaped in cross-section and which protects the edge of a box body (not shown) from e.g. wrapped cardboard serves.
- the cylindrical wall 2 is tightly sealed to the inner wall of the can body.
- This sealed connection along the cylindrical wall 2 can form a predetermined separation area if the edge protector 3 is not left on the can body after the can has been opened.
- a circumferential target dividing line can be embossed.
- the grip tab 6 formed on this part 5 is pulled upward, so that the separation takes place along the desired separation area.
- This grip tab 6 has two at least approximately parallel wall parts 7, 8, which have at least approximately the same thickness as the remaining part of the closure membrane 1.
- the hollow design of the grip tab 6 results from its deep-drawing shape over the tongue-shaped upstanding core part 9 the deep-drawing die 10 under the pressure of compressed air acting on one side on the membrane film.
- the deep-drawing of a heated plastic film with compressed air in a die 10, starting from a continuous film strip in a cyclical process, is generally known, so that a detailed description of the process sequence, the conveying means to the molding station, the heating zone, the compressed air supply, the cutting knife drive, the waste reel, etc. superfluous.
- the cutting knife for cutting out the film material required for the closure membrane 1 from the continuous film band is shown in FIG.
- the molding die 10, on the inner surface of which the membrane film is blown under the pressure of the compressed air, is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the bottom surface 12 is offset downward, so that there is a recessed area 13 in the sealing membrane 1, into which the grip tab 6 lies when it passes through the cavity of the sealing membrane 1, which is not shown filling cup lid is pressed onto the membrane surface.
- the corresponding folded position of the grip tab 6 is indicated in Figure 4 by a dash-dot line 6 '.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the corresponding membrane film is provided with a thermal lacquer layer, which also improves the tightness of the sealing membrane.
- a major advantage of producing the sealing membrane by deep drawing, compared to a spraying method, is the possibility of producing the sealing membrane 1 from a composite film, so that different material properties of several film layers lead to an optimal combination.
- the bottom of the can can be produced in the same way in a deep-drawing die from a membrane film, with the grip tab being omitted.
- the thickness of the membrane film is, for example, in the range from 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dose mit einer Verschlussmembran aus Kunststoff, die über einen Solltrennbereich mit dem Dosenkörper verbunden ist, wobei an dem die Dosenöffnung überspannenden Teil der Verschlussmembran einstückig eine Grifflasche angeformt ist.The invention relates to a can with a closure membrane made of plastic, which is connected to the can body via a predetermined separation area, a handle tab being integrally formed on the part of the closure membrane spanning the can opening.
Eine Dose dieser Art ist bekannt durch die CH-PS 453 117. Ihre Verschlussmembran ist mit der Grifflasche und einem dicken, zum Eingriff eines separaten Dosendeckels vorgesehenen Verstärkungsring in einem Stück in Spritztechnik aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Ihr Solltrennbereich besteht aus einer Schwächungsrille. Die Herstellung einer solchen Verschlussmembran in Spritztechnik ist mit hohem apparativen und zeitlichen Aufwand verbunden, so dass solche Dosen keine wesentliche Verbreitung gefunden haben und für Verschlussmembranen nahezu ausschliesslich Metallmembranen verwendet werden. Bei letzteren wird die Grifflasche entweder aufgeklebt (DE-OS 20 61 497) oder aus der Membranfolie ausgestanzt. Beim Ausstanzen (DE-PS 26 15 812) muss der dabei entstehende Einschnitt durch ein zusätzliches Folienstück verschlossen werden.A can of this type is known from CH-PS 453 117. Its sealing membrane is made in one piece from plastic by injection molding with the grip tab and a thick reinforcement ring provided for engaging a separate can lid. Your target separation area consists of a weakening groove. The production of such a sealing membrane in spraying technology is associated with a high outlay in terms of equipment and time, so that such cans have not been widely used and metal membranes are used almost exclusively for sealing membranes. In the latter case, the grip tab is either glued on (DE-OS 20 61 497) or punched out of the membrane film. When punching out (DE-PS 26 15 812) the resulting incision must be closed by an additional piece of film.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dose der eingangsgenannten Art zu finden, die sich mit geringem apparativem Aufwand und hoher Produktivität leicht herstellen lässt, ohne dass umweltbalastendes Metall- bzw. Aluminiumfolienmaterial für die Verschlussmembran erforderlich ist.The invention has for its object to find a can of the type mentioned, which can be easily manufactured with little equipment and high productivity, without the need for environmentally damaging metal or aluminum foil material for the sealing membrane.
Die Lösung der genannten Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäss dadurch, dass die Verschlussmembran mit der Grifflasche aus einer tiefgezogenen Kunststoffolie besteht, so dass die Grifflasche doppelwandig ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the sealing membrane with the grip tab consists of a deep-drawn plastic film, so that the grip tab is double-walled.
Da die Verschlussmembran mit ihrer Grifflasche durch Tiefziehen einer Kunststoffolie hergestellt wird, kann die folglich senkrecht nach oben stehende doppelwandige Grifflasche mit geringem Kraftaufwand beim Aufsetzen eines üblichen Napfdeckels durch diesen flach auf die Membranfläche niedergebogen werden, so dass sie nach Lösen dieses Deckels teilweise wieder nach oben in eine griffgerechte schräge Position zurückfedert.Since the sealing membrane with its grip tab is produced by deep-drawing a plastic film, the double-walled grip tab, which is consequently vertically upward, can be bent flatly onto the membrane surface with little effort when putting on a conventional bowl cover, so that when the cover is loosened, it can be partially upwards again springs back into an inclined position within easy reach.
Gegenüber Spritzgiessformen für die Herstellung der zuvor genannten vorbekannten Verschlussmembranen und Tiefziehwerkzeugen für die Herstellung von Verschlussmembranen aus Metall, bzw. Aluminium hat die Kunststoff-Tiefziehform für die Herstellung einer Verschlussmembran für eine erfindungsgemässe Dose einen wesentlich einfacheren Aufbau, da durch das Verformen im Blasverfahren nur eine Formhälfte, d.h. eine Matrize, erforderlich ist, denn durch ein Erwärmen der Kunststoffolie lässt diese sich unter geringen Kräften tiefziehen. Auch für die Herstellung einer Querschnittsverringerung in der Verschlussmembran zur Ausbildung eines Solltrennbereichs ist nur ein verhältnismässig einfaches Werkzeug erforderlich, da durch ein geheiztes Prägewerkzeug die entsprechende Verformung bei geringem Kraftaufwand erfolgt.Compared to injection molds for the production of the aforementioned known sealing membranes and deep-drawing tools for the production of sealing membranes made of metal or aluminum, the plastic deep-drawing mold for the production of a sealing membrane for a can according to the invention has a much simpler structure, since only one of them is shaped by the blow molding process Mold half, ie a die is required, because heating the plastic film allows it to be deep-drawn with little force. Only a relatively simple tool is required to produce a cross-sectional reduction in the sealing membrane to form a predetermined separation area, since the corresponding deformation takes place with little effort by a heated embossing tool.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich auch aus der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeipieles anhand der Zeichnungen. Es zeigt:
- Fig.1 einen Querschnitt durch die Verschlussmembran,
- Fig.2 einen Querschnitt durch einen Schnittring,
- Fig.3 einen Querschnitt durch eine auf einer Formdruckplatte angeordnete Matrize und
- Fig.4 eine Aufsicht auf die Matrize nach Fig.3.
- 1 shows a cross section through the sealing membrane,
- 2 shows a cross section through a cutting ring,
- 3 shows a cross section through a die arranged on a pressure plate and
- 4 shows a top view of the die according to FIG. 3.
Wie die Fig.1 zeigt, hat die Verschlussmembran 1 eine zylindrische Wand 2, die verschiedene Querschnittsformen, z.B. kreisförmig, oval, quadratisch mit abgerundeten Ecken u.s.w. aufweisen kann. Nach aussen schliesst sich an die zylindrische Wand ein nach unten gebogener und somit im Querschnitt u-förmiger Rand 3 an, der dem Kantenschutz eines nichtdargestellten Dosenkörpers aus z.B. gewickeltem Kartonmaterial dient. Die zylindrische Wand 2 ist dicht mit der Innenwand des Dosenkörpers versiegelt. Diese Siegelverbindung entlang des zylindrischen Wand 2 kann einen Solltrennbereich bilden, wenn auf den Verbleib des Kantenschutzes 3 am Dosenkörper nach dem Oeffnen der Dose verzichtet wird. In dieser zylindrischen Wand 2 der Verschlussmembran 1 kann jedoch eine umlaufende Solltrennlinie eingeprägt sein. Vorzugsweise befindet sich jedoch eine nichtdargestellte Solltrennlinie im Bereich 4 des Uebergangs zwischen dem die Dosenöffnung überspannenden Teil 5 der Verschlussmembran und deren Wand 2.As shown in Figure 1, the
Um die Verschlussmembran 1 oder zumindest den die Dosenöffnung überspannenden Teil 5 zum Oeffnen der Dose vom Dosenkörper zu lösen, wird der an diesem Teil 5 angeformte Grifflappen 6 nach oben gezogen, so dass die Abtrennung entlang des Solltrennbereichs erfolgt. Dieser Grifflappen 6 hat zwei mindestens angenähert parallel zueinander verlaufende Wandteile 7,8, die zumindest angenähert die gleiche Dicke aufweisen wie der übrige Teil der Verschlussmembran 1. Die somit hohle Ausbildung des Grifflappens 6 ergibt sich durch seine Tiefziehformung über den zungenförmig nach oben stehenden Kernteil 9 der Tiefziehmatrize 10 unter dem Druck von einseitig auf die Membranfolie wirkender Pressluft.In order to detach the
Das Tiefziehen einer erwärmten Kunststoffolie mit Pressluft in einer Matrize 10, ausgehend von einem kontinuierlichen Folienband im Taktverfahren ist allgemein bekannt, so dass sich eine detaillierte Beschreibung des Verfahrensablaufs, der Fördermittel zur Formstation, der Heizzone, der Pressluftzufuhr, des Schnittmesserantriebs, der Abfallaufrollung u.s.w. erübrigt. Das Schneidmesser zum Herausschneiden des für die Verschlussmembran 1 erforderlichen Folienmaterials aus dem kontinuierlichen Folienband ist in Fig.2 gezeigt. Die Formmatrize 10,an deren Innenfläche die Membranfolie unter dem Druck der Pressluft angeblasen wird, ist in den Fig.3 und 4 gezeigt. Im Bereich 11 des Kernteiles 9 für den Grifflappen 6 ist die Bodenfläche 12 nach unten abgesetzt, so dass sich in der Verschlussmembran 1 ein vertiefter Bereich 13 ergibt, in den sich der Grifflappen 6 hineinlegt, wenn er durch den nichtdargestellten, den Hohlraum der Verschlussmembran 1 ausfüllenden Napfdeckel auf die Membranfläche niedergedrückt wird. Die entsprechende umgelegte Position des Grifflappens 6 ist in Fig.4 durch eine Strich-Punkt-Linie 6′ angedeutet.The deep-drawing of a heated plastic film with compressed air in a
Als Material für die Verschlussmembran 1 ist beispielsweise PET (Polyäthylenterephthalat) geeignet. Zur Herstellung der Siegelverbindung mit dem Dosenkörper wird die entsprechende Membranfolie mit einer Thermolackschicht versehen, die auch die Dichtigkeit der Verschlussmembran verbessert. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Herstellung der Verschlussmembran durch Tiefziehen, im Vergleich zu einem Spritzverfahren besteht auch in der Möglichkeit, die Verschlussmembran 1 aus einer Verbundfolie herzustellen, so dass verschiedene Materialeigenschaften von mehreren Folienschichten zu einer optimalen Kombination führen.For example, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is suitable as the material for the
Es versteht sich, dass der Boden der Dose unter Weglassung des Grifflappens auf die gleiche Weise in einer Tiefziehmatrize aus einer Membranfolie hergestellt werden kann.It goes without saying that the bottom of the can can be produced in the same way in a deep-drawing die from a membrane film, with the grip tab being omitted.
Die Dicke der Membranfolie liegt beispielsweise im Bereich von 0,2 bis 0,4 mm.The thickness of the membrane film is, for example, in the range from 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
