Abstract:
Cushion-shaped packing containers made of a liquid-tight tube which is sealed together at both ends by transverse sealing fins, cannot be used for pressurized contents, because the flexible plastic material of which the containers are made cannot be joined with sufficient strength in the sealing fins.A strengthening element for the packing containers, and in particular for their sealing fins, is disclosed. The sealing fins are strengthened by an external strengthening band which joins the sealing fins. At the same time the fins are held folded down against the outside of the container so that the internal pressure in the container no longer acts upon the material layers sealed together in the sealing fin in a direction away from each other, but is transmitted instead to the seal between the respective fin and the strengthening band which seal can readily be given the required strength.The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of the packing containers described.
Abstract:
A cardboard/plastics film laminate package (1) is provided with an opening arrangement consisting of a channel (6) fixed to the top wall of the package over an opening area (4) bounded by a tearing line (3) part thickness perforations and an opening element (9). The opening element (9) is a strip having a pull-tab (10) at one end and a bent back penetrating portion (11) fixed at (14) to a part (14") of the opening area. On pulling the tab (10), the penetrating portion (11) wedges between the channel (6) and the opening area of the package and is forced to penetrate the opening area. On further pulling, the opening area of the package is torn away and removed through the channel (1) which then forms a pouring mouth.
Abstract:
A packing container of the ridge roof type of the kind which is adapted to be opened by folding out again a bellows fold (B) formed at the top closure of the container in order to form an emptying opening (16) in the shape of a pouring spout. With the object of making the container liquid-tight and at the same time easy to open perforation (15) is arranged above the said bellows fold (B) below which the sealing fin (10) delaminates when the container is opened. The seal between the material layers forming the sealing fin (10) below this perforation is considerably weaker or almost negligible compared with the seal between material layers above the tearing perforation.
Abstract:
A material (1) in the form of sheets or a web is provided with a watermarklike pattern (12) in the form of a text, figure or similar identification mark visible or displayable in transmitted light by means of relieflike mechanical working off of material, for example grinding, milling etc., corresponding to the desired pattern (12).
Abstract:
A porous food product is prepared by mixing sodium alginate and a calcium compound with ground fish or meat, heating the mixture, introducing a pressurized gas and an acid into the mixture, the acid liberating calcium ions from the calcium compound to cause the sodium alginate to form a gel which confers a porous structure on the product, and reducing the pressure to liberate gas and form gas bubbles in the product.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a closing arrangements on cans and similar containers of the type which has at least one plane end wall of sheet metal with a hole punched out in the end wall. The cut surface of the said punched-out hole may be sealed effectively by a closing arrangement which is designed as a tubular plastic body with flanges projecting from the plastic body. The flanges embrace the edge zone of the hole when the closing arrangement is pressed into the hole, at the same time as the said cut edge of the end wall is pressed so as to form a seal against, or "is embedded in," the outside of the tubular plastic body.
Abstract:
The invention relates a heat exchanger plate (1) comprising a number of turbulence-promoting protuberances (4) that project from the plane (3) of the heat exchanger plate. The protuberances (4) have a surface profile (6) for promoting break-up of laminar boundary layers. The invention also relates to a plate heat exchanger comprising such heat exchanger plates (1).
Abstract:
A flexible material comprises a sheet or web of deformable heat-sealable plastic material having at least one face a surface relief pattern comprising a multitude of small, closely spaced depressions and/or elevations serving to impart increased rigidity and optionally one or more layers, e.g. of aluminum foil, laminated to said plastic material over said relief pattern.
Abstract:
A pack for liquids is made at least partially from cardboard or the like, which is impervious to liquid at least on its one surface, by virtue of a plastics coating. The pack has side walls (2-3), a bottom and a top wall (1), which are connected together at least partially by fold (9) and/or sealing seams (4), a tear-open pouring opening (6) which is disposed in the top wall (1) adjacent the edge line (9) and which is preferably covered over by a tear-off cover strip (7) and a pouring edge (8) which is disposed in one plane with the top wall (1). A separate plastics strip (10) is sealed in position in the region of the pouring opening (6), covering over same, and extends beyond the edge line (9) of the top wall (1) with an unsealed end (11), forming a pouring edge (8), and the surface of the plastics strip (10), which covers over the pouring opening (6), is stamped out, exposing the opening (6), and is laid over around the edge (12) of the opening and is sealed in position from the underside.
Abstract:
A fluid pack made of plastics-coated paper in which the side walls (2) and/or the cover (1) are connected together by way of fold edges (9) and provided in the cover (1) is an opening device (7) having a cover strip (10) which sealingly engages over a stamped-out hole (6).So that the opening device (7) can be produced in an operationally reliable and economic fashion even in a high-capacity machine, the cover strip (10) is injected plastics material and the edge regions (13) thereof cover over the edge portions (14) of the stamped-out hole (6) on both inner and outer sides of the hole.
