Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for opening and Reseal containers, especially Flat gable composite packages, with a pouring opening, a pouring spout formed on it and one the pouring opening surrounding flange having base element for Attach the device to the surface of the Container, a lid hinged to the base element and a two-part opening element connected to the cover, the opening element in a guide in the lid is arranged so that during the opening process from the opening element through the pouring opening in the base element through the underlying container material is pierced, as well as the use of such Device with a flat gable composite pack and for prepared the application of this device Flat gable composite packs.
  • Rectangular flat gables are in known multiple copies. You will find primarily in the field of liquid packaging in Relation to cold, cold sterile, hot and aseptic filling use. Leave these packs usually does not reappear after opening once close.
  • This known device is so far disadvantageous than that, especially with sugar-containing Fruit juices when opening the lid on the one with the Lid opened package due to the irregular tear edges of the PE film drops the Package contents can get stuck, which then at Drip down the pouring process onto the table or floor can and thus the functionality of the known Reduce the device.
  • that can Reclosing the device by the irregular tear edge of the PE film and a appropriate jamming in the pouring opening at Closing the lid will cause leaks.
  • That lends out the torn pack composite the package with the lid open is unsightly Appearance.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object based on the device for opening and Resealing containers of the type mentioned and to improve the type described above in such a way that a clean opening and reclosing of the Device is guaranteed and high tightness the one provided with the reclosed device Beverage pack is reached.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object based on the device for opening and Resealing containers of the type mentioned and to improve the type described above in such a way that a clean opening and reclosing of the Device is guaranteed and high tightness the one provided with the reclosed device Beverage pack is reached.
  • at Device easy to use, high functionality when opening and a good aesthetic impression desired by the consumer.
  • This task is solved by a device that is characterized in that the opening element from a pressure plate and there is a piercing ring and that the piercing ring remains in the base element after opening.
  • Piercing rings are related to screw caps become known. However, the piercing ring is in the Pourable filling slidably mounted (see US-A-5 297 696).
  • this device can be used realize any flat gable composite packs, yes it is particularly useful for safe handling, if the flat gable composite package on which the device according to the invention is to be applied with one in the area of the later pouring opening arranged, circumferential and the contour of the Provide the opening tube with the corresponding weakening line is.
  • Flat gable composite pack with one in the area of arranged later pouring opening, the contour of the Corresponding opening tube and with at least one PE layer sealed recess in the carrier layer to provide.
  • the pressure plate on its underside at least one peripheral web for receiving the Piercing ring such a web both inside as well as around the outside of the piercing ring can be arranged. Also within the scope of the invention two concentrically arranged webs conceivable, their Distance corresponds exactly to the strength of the piercing ring.
  • the lid at least one stop to limit the movement of the Has opening element. That way can be reliably excluded that the Opening element when pressed into the composite material leaves the guide of the lid and inside the pack reached.
  • Another stop can be the opening element in the "transport position", that is to say in the non-pressed position Condition, fix in the lid.
  • the piercing ring of the opening element as an opening aid teeth arranged in a ring.
  • the handling of the alternative proposed Designs of the opening element is for the user equal.
  • the closure part becomes the one surrounded by the line of weakness Composite material piece or that over the recess sealed PE film piece from the rest of the pack separated and pressed into the inside of the pack. It is useful if the teeth arranged in a ring or the cutting edge, which is used as an opening aid, are not arranged circumferentially, so that a complete Detachment of the pressed composite or PE material piece can be avoided. If there is the piece separated from the opening tube completely separates from the rest of the pack and into the liquid this can lead to problems with pouring, when the piece floating freely in the liquid is the Pouring opening completely or partially blocked or even reaches the drinking vessel through the pouring opening.
  • the piercing ring When executing the device according to the invention the piercing ring remains in the area of it Open position in the base element and when opening the Lid separates the pressure plate from the piercing ring, see above that the pressure plate then remains in the lid.
  • the piercing ring on its outer surface has clamping elements, which formed for example as projections and / or beads could be.
  • 1 to 3 for all shown and in so far preferred embodiments - the basic structure of the device according to the invention forth.
  • 1 is the base element and 2 is the base element Cover designated.
  • 1 to 3 in the normal state in the lid 2nd used and designated 3 in the other figures Opening element dispensed with.
  • Base element 1 has a pouring opening 4, and by means of an integrally molded hinge strap 5A with the Lid 2 is hinged.
  • hinge strap 5A with the Lid 2 is hinged.
  • the preferred embodiment takes place articulated connection next to the actual hinge strap 5A by one arranged in the central region of the band Locking element 5B, which for locking the cover 2 in its open position is provided.
  • a pouring spout 6 starting from the pouring opening 4 Fig. 3 clearly shows that when the lid is closed 2 the pouring spout 6 completely on its top is closed, so that next to the actual Sealing function in the area of the pouring opening 4 during the No dust or dirt during transportation or storage the pouring spout 6 later wetted with the liquid can hit.
  • the Opening element 3 from a slightly varied pressure plate 3A 'and a corresponding push-through ring 33', which are presented primarily from the first Differ embodiment by the pressure plate 3A 'inside the piercing ring 3B' Web 10 has to optimal guidance of the To ensure penetration ring 3B '.
  • the exact structure of the Pressure plate 3A 'and the piercing ring 3B' in FIG. 12 and 13 can be seen.
