Abstract:
A readily openable and reclosable opening arrangement for use on a packing container comprises a pouring pipe attached to the outside of the packing container, wherein a slide is maneuverable within the pouring pipe by means of a projecting gripping element. When the slide is pushed to the open position the packing container wall is penetrated by ploughlike elements joined to the slide, so that the contents may be emptied out via the pouring pipe. The opening arrangement also may be used on packing containers which consist of several part containers whose contents may be emptied out through a joint pouring pipe.
Abstract:
A tube package of plastic material which includes a tubular shell part together with end closures front and back. The shell part is constituted of a cylinder of molecular-oriented plastic material, and its front end closure of a curved shrunk portion of the extension of the shell part. The rear closure of the shell part is constituted of a transversely sealed portion of the shell part.
Abstract:
A method for the cooling of a heated, e.g. heat-sterilized, flow containing particles of foodstuff character is disclosed. The flow is separated into a high particle flow, and a low particle flow which is cooled separately from the high particle flow and is used later as a cooling medium for the cooling of the high particle flow. The method can be used in aseptic packaging wherein a heat-treated, cooled foodstuff product, e.g. fruit soup, vegetable soup, meat broth, etc., is packed in sterilized packing containers, or in packing containers manufactured from sterilized packing material, under aseptic packing conditions.
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 (1-3), 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 pack for flowable material, includes a tube (1) having at least one longitudinal seam, with a base and a lid (2) mounted at its ends. The lid (2) is made of thermoplastics material without any base material, is welded to the tube (1) and has a pouring device (8). The tube (1) is made of base material such as cardboard, coated with thermoplastics material on at least one side. The lid (2) is a separate, prefabricated part fitted by means of a flange (5) engaging round the top edge (6) of the tube (1) and welded to the edge (6). This lid (2) has a part (21) of its surface at a lower level than its outer surface, with part of the lower level surface (21) extending near to the edge (6) of the tube, in such a way that the lid (2) engages round the edge (6) of the tube substantially in a U shape in the region of said part (21 ) of the lower level surface.
Abstract:
Described is a liquid pack made at least partially of cardboard, having a longitudinal weld seam (1) and two transverse weld seams (3) which are disposed in a doubled cardboard strip (2) at the top and underside of the pack, wherein disposed in the upper transverse weld seam (3) is an opening means (6) in the form of a double-ply opening strip (7) which is liquid-tight on one side and whose outward sides are connected to the inward sides of the doubled cardboard strip (2). The opening strip (7) is made of a laminated plastics material in which one layer (21) is oriented in one direction (22).In order to permit such a pack to be produced from a tubular portion, and yet have a tearing-open action which the final consumer can readily understand, in an economical fashion and with good hygenic properties, the opening strip (7) is of a U-shaped cross-section and is so arranged that the free ends of the limb portions (10, 10') of the U-shape are directed towards the interior of the pack, the limb portions of the U-shape are welded together only at the beginning and the end to provide a beginning sealing region (12) and an end sealing region (13), the beginning sealing region (12) provides a gripping tongue portion behind which it is sealed in the longitudinal sealing seam in the doubled cardboard strip, and the end sealing region (13) is also sealed in the cardboard strip in the pouring-out region of the opening means.
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).
