Description

The invention relates to a container with a first liquid for placement on a main container according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a mixing device with a container disposed thereon according to the preamble of claim 11.

It is known to mix liquids such as alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. For this purpose, a first liquid is combined with a second liquid in a container. This creates a mixture of the two liquids in the container. In order to obtain this mixture of the two liquids with little effort and well dosed, various devices for mixing two liquids are known, which in turn, however, are associated with further disadvantages.

The DE19812153 teaches a plastic container for packaging a first and a second flowable material from the field of high-quality cosmetics, which are kept separated before use in the mixed state, wherein for use of the mixture via a discharge opening, an upper portion of the container is axially rotatable , whereby by means of a device a release film is cut open. A lower portion is provided as a container for the first material. For the second material, a cup-like container is provided, which is sealed liquid-tight with the release film. The upper portion has on the inside an axially arranged receptacle for the cup-like container, wherein the separating film of the cup-like container is directed downward. The lower container is closed with a depressible stopper which has the device arranged upwards. The receptacle is provided with lateral openings. Although this blending device achieves accurate dosing of the flowable materials, its complicated and multi-part construction is disadvantageous. In particular, for a cost-effective mass production in the food industry, this device is unsuitable.

A mixing device consisting of detachable parts and mixing a liquid medicament from an upper container with a second medicament in a lower container by means of gravity flow transfer is shown in FIG EP0426403 shown. Controlled airflow facilitates transfer and prevents leakage of fluid from the device. The container with the mixture can be removed from the device and connected to a sampling device. The containers with the two drugs are connected by a precise to be manufactured two-piece channel device, which establishes a channel between the two containers. This duct device has a tight cone and connections for the air flow. Overall, the device must meet medical requirements, and is therefore also useless for cost-effective mass production in the food industry. In addition, the device is only conditionally transportable, since it tends to damage due to their fragile structure.

An apparatus for separately storing a non-alcoholic or containing lemonade powder and a drink liquid comprising a first container containing the liquid, a plug for closing the container formed as a second container and the soda powder and a hollow cylindrical sleeve for damaging the base of the plug so that the lemonade powder falls into the container. The soda powder socket has a cutting edge which pierces the plug. To be able to remove the mixture afterwards, remove the plug with the bushing from the container. Basically, this is in the DE102005008238 However, it does not offer the possibility of mixing two liquids, but only a liquid and a powder, with one another. In addition, to remove the mixture, the device must be disassembled so that ultimately two parts remain.

Another device in the food industry for mixing a substance with a liquid is disclosed in JPH10194352. To change the taste of drinking water, it is proposed to provide a capsule with a flavor in a beverage container. The capsule can be destroyed by a mechanism so that the flavor is added to the drinking water. As a result, a mixture is produced in the beverage container, which in turn can be removed from the beverage container in a conventional manner. This proposal has the disadvantage that only small amounts of an additive can be added to the beverage container, since the capsule is disposed within the container. Thus, this device is only applicable to the change in taste of drinks, since this only small amounts of flavors are necessary.

Although the known mixing devices perform their function, the range of mixing devices offers room for improvement.

The invention has for its object to provide a mixing device for mixing two particular drinkable liquids, these two liquids with reduced effort are precisely miscible and can be removed by means of the same mixing device from a container.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a container for placing on a container with the features of claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a mixing device comprising a container on a container according to claim 11. Further particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the respective dependent subclaims.

It should be noted that the features listed in the following description as well as measures in any technically meaningful way can be combined with each other and show other embodiments of the invention. The description additionally characterizes and specifies the invention, in particular in connection with the figures.

The container according to the invention is filled with a first liquid and designed to be arranged on a main container which is filled with a second liquid. The container is constructed from a wall, wherein the container has on its upper side in its wall an upper lead-through area. The passage area can be opened so that a hole in the wall can be formed in the container in the passage area. Through this hole, the first liquid is accessible from the outside. Preferably, the first liquid can be removed from the container.

It is proposed to provide the container on its underside also with a lower lead-through area. As a result, a hole in the wall can also be created on the underside of the container. Through the hole on the bottom of the first liquid can be passed out of the container. The first liquid thus led out of the container can be used to mix the second liquid. Since the wall with the lead-through areas can form the outermost shell of the container, such a hole can be generated from the outside in a simple manner.

Advantageously, the lead-through areas are pierceable by means of a removal means. The removal means is provided for removing a liquid, in particular the mixture of first and second liquid. The removal means is in particular a stalk. The stalk is tubular and can preferably be used for drinking. The removal means may be releasably attached to the container. By using the removal means for piercing the lead-through areas, an advantageous functional connection in the removal means is possible, so that the removal means is provided at the same time for removing the mixture as well as for puncturing the lead-through areas. Alternatively, the lead-through area can be opened by means of a pull tab.

Clever way is provided that the lower is aligned with the upper feedthrough in Erdanziehungsrichtung. The container can be set up so that its upper side is located above the lower side with respect to the gravity direction. As a result, the upper lead-through area can be positioned above the lower lead-through area. An imaginary straight line through the two lead-through areas can thus run along the gravity direction and simultaneously represent the shortest connection between these two lead-through areas. Thereby, a removal means along the Erdanziehungsrichtung can be carried out simultaneously through both lead-through areas, wherein a discharge of the first liquid from the lower lead-through area is driven by the gravitational force. Alternatively, the outflow may be carried by compressing the walls of the container.

One or both of the lead-through areas can also be aligned with each other in a non-aligned manner. The lead-through areas are preferably equipped with the tabs. For example, the upper lead-through area can be designed as a centrally arranged screw cap, while the lower lead-through area is arranged eccentrically therefor. The upper lead-through area can be opened by unscrewing while the lower one can be torn open by the tab.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that a guide means for the removal means is attached to the container. The removal means can be inserted into the guide means, and can thereby be aligned with the lower lead-through region, so that the removal means securely hits the lower lead-through region. For this purpose, the guide means is preferably aligned with the two lead-through areas. The guide means is preferably arranged inside the container. The guide means may be formed as a separate wall within the container, which is aligned parallel to a lateral, outer wall of the container.

Alternatively, a pipe extending within the container and at least in sections from the upper to the lower feedthrough region is conceivable as a guide means. Further, a hopper disposed inside the container may be provided at the lower passage area, whereby the hopper widens toward the upper passage area, so that the extraction means can be easily inserted into the hopper opening. A Another possibility is within the container arranged bracket or tabs with eyelets, through which the removal means can be pushed. Alternatively or additionally, a guide means may be mounted outside of the container. For example, it may extend from the upper feedthrough area in a tubular manner in the piercing direction of the container. Due to the variety of execution options to attach the guide means to the container, a variety of advantageous embodiments of the container are possible.

Furthermore, it is provided that the guide means is made of the same material as the wall of the container. The wall of the container may for example be constructed of a composite material having at least one plastic film and a cardboard layer. Preferably, the composite material may also include an aluminum layer. During manufacture of the container, the walls are formed, wherein during the manufacturing process, the guide means can be formed and arranged on the container. As a result, a cost-effective mass production of a container with a guide means is possible.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that at least one of the lead-through areas comprises a pierceable or aufreisbaren film. The film may extend along the entire wall, but only the film is present in the area of the lead-through area. For example, if the wall consists of a composite material comprising at least one cardboard layer and a film, then the lead-through area can be produced by punching out of the cardboard layer. The punched-out piece can be, for example, circular, angular and / or star-shaped. Furthermore, the punch is closed by the film, so that the container is still tight. The film is such that it can be pierced by the removal means. This provides a convenient way to open the container through the removal means. Alternatively, the lead-through area can be provided by a perforation in the wall, whereby the lead-through area at the perforation tears open so that the removal means can be pushed through. The perforation can be circular, drop-shaped, cross-shaped and / or star-shaped.

The lead-through areas can also be opened by means of a tab attached to the foil of the lead-through area. The tab can be pulled to remove the foil and create a hole. The lead-through area can also be formed by a material of the wall, such as cardboard, which is provided with a tab, and can be mounted.

Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that the lower lead-through region has a trough means for targeted removal of the first liquid. The trough means may be mounted as a funnel or gutter or pipe at the lower passage area, wherein the first liquid flows out of the container through the trough means and is preferably supplied by the trough means as a jet of the second liquid. The trough means may be made of the same material as the wall and / or the guide means. Further, the trough means may be provided either in a permanently erected condition, or designed as an extendable trough means. The trough can thereby be unfolded, pulled out or everted. It can be extended by means of a tab or the removal means.

In order to ensure that the container is securely fastened to the main container, the container on the underside may have at least one positioning means for attachment to the main container. The positioning means may preferably be a clip means that is clipped to the main container. Alternatively, the positioning means may be a clamping means which is clamped to the main container. Preferably, the positioning means of the main container is detachably formed.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the positioning means is arranged on at least three areas around the lead-through area. The three areas are preferably aligned according to an isosceles triangle on the container. This ensures a particularly secure hold of the container on the main container. Furthermore, the positioning means is arranged in particular in a closed manner around the lead-through area. The positioning means surrounds the feedthrough area. For example, the positioning means may be circular. A closed circumferential positioning means can be used to achieve a seal of the underside with respect to the main container. In particular, the positioning means is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The positioning means can be arranged at an edge of the underside of the container. Alternatively, the positioning means can be offset radially inwards. It can be arranged directly on the underside or be arranged on an extension which is formed for example by a fold on the underside. Additionally or alternatively, a collar can be arranged at the edge, which is in particular longer than the positioning means, and can be attached to the main container.

The mixing device comprises the main container with the container arranged thereon. The main container has an opening over which the lower lead-in area of the container is arranged when the container is attached to the main container. When the lower passageway is opened, the first fluid from the container can be directed into the main reservoir. Thereby, a unit of container and main container is provided, which ensures a safe mixing process by the mixing device.

Conveniently, a fold is formed on the lid of the main container in which the opening is formed, to which by means of the positioning means of the container can be attached. On the outer circumference and / or inner circumference of the fold and the collar of the container can be attached. The fold preferably extends in a mounting direction of the container, and can be encompassed by the positioning means. The positioning means can be clipped and / or clamped on the fold, for example. In this case, the positioning encompasses the fold at a radially inner and outer portion. For this purpose, the positioning means may have a U-shaped cross section. Alternatively, the positioning means may rest against the fold only at a radially inner or outer portion. For this purpose, the positioning means is I-shaped. In particular, the positioning means can establish a tight connection between the container and the main container when the positioning means runs around the lower feed-through area in a closed manner.

The main container is designed in a particularly preferred embodiment as a beverage can. The beverage can contains the second liquid. The first liquid in the container can be drinkable alcohol. Now, if the two liquids are mixed together, a freshly mixed alcoholic beverage can be provided in the beverage can. Preferably, so carbonated sweet drinks can be mixed with different Schnapssorten. It is conceivable to mix cola and / or orange lemonade and / or bitter lemonade and / or lemonade and / or fruit juice with whiskey and / or rum and / or vodka and / or gin and / or liqueur and / or wine. A drinking straw is guided through an upper and lower lead-through area into the opening, and positioned in the mixture. Through the drinking straw, the mixture can be transported through the container for drinking from the beverage can. The container may be cylindrical, and preferably at least partially have the same diameter as a cylindrical beverage can. Alternatively, the container may have a mouthpiece, such as a screw cap or threaded neck, from which the mixture can be drunk.

The two liquids can be mixed by attaching the container to the main container. After the container is fixedly arranged on the main container, for example by the positioning means, the upper and the lower lead-through area are opened by means of the removal means or the tab. Subsequently, in particular the removal means opposite to the piercing direction is pulled out until the removal means at least not in the lower implementation area inserted. Alternatively, the container opened by the tab can be placed on the can and the first liquid. Both alternatives open the lower passageway and direct the first fluid into the main reservoir. For example, if the desired amount of the first liquid has been directed into the main container, then the withdrawal means may be pushed back into the main container. Meanwhile, the first and second liquids in the main container mix to a mixture, which is removed by means of the sampling means or through the mouthpiece of the container from the main container. In the case of a drinkable mixture, the extraction means may be embodied as a drinking straw placed in the main container, and a user of the device may suck on the drinking straw so that the drinkable mixture is conveyed out of the main container by the drinking straw. This makes it easy to enjoy the mix.
