A plastic container (1) with lid (2) which comprises a second container (6) with lid (7) coupled to and entering into the plastic container (1), each of both lids comprising a locking part (8, 9), the second container, also manufactured of plastic material, being injected in one piece with the lid (2) and the locking part (9) of the lid of the great container (1) comprising an external wall (21) with a circular embossement (22) extending round the thickened end (23) of the wall (24) of the container and an internal wall (26), characterized in that the lid (2) of the great container (1), more particularly for colours or similar, comprises a circular collar (11) with a thickened end (12), surrounding an opening of the second container (6) lying inside the lid and connected by a part of the lid (27) and the locking part (8) of the lid (7) of the second container (6) an external wall (10) with embossment (19) extending round the collar (11) and an internal wall (14) to which is connected a U-shaped circular groove (13), in that ribs (17, 28) each comprising a centering retreat (18, 29) are provided between the internal wall (14) and the second branch (15) of the U-shaped groove (13) of the lid (7) of the second container (6) and between the internal wall (26) and the internal part (27) of the lid (2) of the great container (1), the external periphery of the bottoms (26, 30) fitting each time with the retreats of the ribs of the second, resp. the first lid and in that the upper edge of the lid (7) of the second container (6) lies below the plane of the upper edge of the lid (2) of the great container (1).

Description

Unter den Kunststoffbehältern gibt es solche, die insbesondere für den Transport von Farben oder ähnlichen im Maler- und Baugewerbe verwendeten Materialien geeignet sind. Unter diesen Materialien gibt es Farbe oder Verputz, die erst an Ort und Stelle miteinander vermischt werden, wobei in der Regel die Komponenten verschiedene Volumina aufweisen. Dies ist insbesondere bei Materialien mit einem Härter der Fall. Bei der Verwendung von zwei voll ausgebildeten Eimern mit gut verschliessbaren Deckeln muss jeder Behälter transportierbar sein, wodurch sich relativ hohe Kosten ergeben und es kommt insbesondere auf einem Bau oft vor, dass eine der Komponenten fehlt.Among the plastic containers there are those which are particularly suitable for the transport of paints or similar materials used in the painting and construction industry. There is paint or plaster among these materials, which are only mixed together on site, the components usually having different volumes. This is particularly the case for materials with a hardener. When using two fully-formed buckets with easy-to-close lids, each container must be transportable, which results in relatively high costs and it often happens in particular on a building that one of the components is missing.

Es ist demgegenüber Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, Kunststoffbehälter anzugeben, mit welchen die Verpakkungskosten von zwei Komponenten herabgesetzt werden können und wobei es ausgeschlossen ist, dass eine der beiden Komponenten fehlt. Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem in den Ansprüchen definierten Behälter gelöst.In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide plastic containers with which the packaging costs of two components can be reduced and where it is excluded that one of the two components is missing. This object is achieved with a container as defined in the claims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine teilweise aufgeschnittene Draufsicht auf einen erfindungsgemässen Behälter,
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt gemäss Linie II-II,
  • Figur 3 eine Ausschnittsvergrösserung von Figur 1 und
  • Figur 4 einen Schnitt im vergrösserten Massstab gemäss Linie IV-IV von Figur 1.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing of exemplary embodiments. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a partially cut open top view of a container according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 shows a section along line II-II,
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of Figure 1 and
  • 4 shows a section on an enlarged scale according to line IV-IV of FIG. 1.

Man erkennt in Figur 2 den Kunststoffbehälter 1, den Deckel 2 und den Traggriff 3. Ein solcher Eimer mit Deckel ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A-2549400 bekannt, wobei der Behälter einen polygonalen Flansch 4 mit Gruppen von Rippen 5 aufweist und der Traggriff 3 an diesem Flansch befestigt ist. Ein solcher Behälter ist insbesondere für den Transport durch die Bahn oder durch einen Lastwagen geeignet, bei welchem seitliche Stösse häufig vorkommen können, die durch den polygonalen Flansch aufgefangen werden, wobei die polygone Formgebung ein Aneinanderreihen der Behälter erleichtert und die Gruppen von Rippen das Verschieben untereinander verhindert.The plastic container 1 can be seen in FIG Lid 2 and the handle 3. Such a bucket with a lid is known for example from DE-A-2549400, the container having a polygonal flange 4 with groups of ribs 5 and the handle 3 being attached to this flange. Such a container is particularly suitable for transport by train or truck, in which lateral impacts can often occur, which are absorbed by the polygonal flange, the polygonal shape making it easier to line up the containers and the groups of ribs to move among themselves prevented.

Wie aus der Zeichnung hervorgeht, ist am Deckel, beispielsweise konzentrisch dazu, ein kleinerer Behälter 6 angeordnet. In vorliegendem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der zweite Behälter einstückig mit dem Deckel hergestellt, so dass er einerseits aus einem weicheren und kostengünstigeren Material und andererseits auch dünner hergestellt werden kann als der Behälter 1. Der zweite Behälter 6 weist ebenfalls einen Deckel 7 auf, der einen ähnlichen Verschlussteil 8 besitzt wie der Verschlussteil 9 des Deckels am Behälter. Der Verschlussteil 8 am zweiten Deckel 7 weist eine äussere Wand 10 auf, die um einen um den zweiten Behälter 6 laufenden Kragen 11 mit verdicktem Ende 12 greift sowie zwei daran anschliessende, eine umlaufende Nut 13 bildende Wände 14 und 15, woran sich nach innen ein Wulst 16 anschliesst, der der Verstärkung dient. In der umlaufenden Nut 13 sind Verstärkungsrippen 17 angeordnet, die einen Absatz 18 aufweisen, der der Zentrierung des Bodens 36 des zweiten Behälters dient, womit eine gute Stapelbarkeit der zweiten Behälter erzielt wird. Die äussere Wand 10 des Verschlussteils weist einen nach innen gerichteten umlaufenden Nocken 19 auf, der unter das verdickte Ende des Kragens greift, wodurch ein fester Halt und auch ein Wiederverschliessen des Deckels ermöglicht wird. Zwecks Abdichtung des Deckels kann zwischen dem verdickten Ende 12 und der um dieses verdickte Ende greifenden äusseren Wand 10 eine Gummipackung gelegt werden oder, wie in vorliegendem Beispiel, kann die Innenwand des um das Kragenende liegenden Teils eine umlaufende Lippe 20 aufweisen, die sich beim Verschliessen auf das obere Ende des umlaufenden Kragens anschmiegt und so eine gute Dichtung bewirkt.As can be seen from the drawing, a smaller container 6 is arranged on the cover, for example concentrically thereto. In the present preferred embodiment, the second container is made in one piece with the lid, so that it can be made on the one hand from a softer and less expensive material and on the other hand also thinner than the container 1. The second container 6 also has a lid 7 which is similar Closure part 8 has like closure part 9 of the lid on the container. The closure part 8 on the second cover 7 has an outer wall 10 which engages around a collar 11 with a thickened end 12 running around the second container 6 and two adjoining walls 14 and 15 forming a circumferential groove 13, which is inwardly directed Bead 16 connects, which serves for reinforcement. In the circumferential groove 13 there are reinforcing ribs 17 which have a shoulder 18 which serves to center the bottom 36 of the second container, with the result that the second containers can be stacked well. The outer wall 10 of the closure part has an inward circumferential cam 19 which engages under the thickened end of the collar, which enables a firm hold and also a reclosing of the cover light becomes. In order to seal the cover, a rubber packing can be placed between the thickened end 12 and the outer wall 10 encompassing this thickened end or, as in the present example, the inner wall of the part lying around the end of the collar can have a circumferential lip 20 which closes when closed hugs the upper end of the circumferential collar and thus creates a good seal.

Der Verschlussteil 9 des grossen Deckels ist ähnlich wie derjenige des kleineren Deckels aufgebaut und weist eine Aussenwand 21 mit Nocken 22 auf, die um das obere verdickte Ende 23 der Behälterwand 24 greift. Die Innenseite des Verschlusses weist ebenfalls eine Dichtungslippe 25 auf. Der Verschlussteil 9 weist ferner eine Innenwand 26 auf, an der sich das Deckelinnere 27 anschliesst. Zwischen der inneren Wand 26 und dem Deckelinneren sind Verstärkungsrippen 28 angeordnet, die einen Absatz 29 aufweisen, wodurch beim Stapeln der Boden 30 des grossen Behälters zentriert werden kann. An beiden Deckeln befinden sich Oesen 31, die das Oeffnen der Deckel erleichtern.The closure part 9 of the large lid is constructed similarly to that of the smaller lid and has an outer wall 21 with cams 22 which engages around the upper thickened end 23 of the container wall 24. The inside of the closure also has a sealing lip 25. The closure part 9 also has an inner wall 26 to which the lid interior 27 connects. Reinforcing ribs 28 are arranged between the inner wall 26 and the inside of the lid, which have a shoulder 29, whereby the bottom 30 of the large container can be centered when stacked. There are eyelets 31 on both lids which facilitate the opening of the lids.

Wie aus Obigem hervorgeht, bewirkt die Gestaltung der Deckel eine gute Stapelbarkeit der vollen grossen und kleinen Behälter, wobei die Böden 19 und 30 jeweils auf die Absätze 18 bzw. 29 abgestimmt sind. Um ein Verklemmen der kleinen Behälter beim Ineinanderstapeln zu verhindern, sind zwischen der Wand 32 des kleinen Behälters und der inneren Wand 26 des Deckels Flügel 33 angeordnet, die zugleich als Verstärkung dienen. Diese Flügel verhindern, dass die kleinen Behälter beim Ineinanderstapeln zu fest ineinander geraten und klemmen.As can be seen from the above, the design of the lids results in good stackability of the full large and small containers, the bottoms 19 and 30 being matched to paragraphs 18 and 29, respectively. In order to prevent the small containers from jamming when stacked one inside the other, wings 33 are arranged between the wall 32 of the small container and the inner wall 26 of the lid, which also serve as reinforcement. These wings prevent the small containers from getting too tight and jamming when stacked.

Um ein Mischen beider Komponenten zu erleichtern, ist der Boden des kleinen Behälters derart ausgebildet, dass er ohne grossen Kraftaufwand geöffnet werden kann. In vorliegendem Fall weist der Boden zwei senkrecht zueinander stehende Rippen 34 auf (s. Figuren 1 und 4), wodurch der Boden in vier Sektoren aufgeteilt wird. Innerhalb von jedem Sektor ist entlang des Umfangs und daran anschliessend teilweise entlang den Rippen 34 eine Schwächungsritze 35 (s. Figur 4) angeordnet. Die Tiefe dieser Ritze respektive die verbleibende Wandstärke bei der Schwächungsritze wird derart gewählt, dass die Sektoren ohne zu grossen Kraftaufwand hinausgestossen werden können. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, eine andere Anordnung der Rippen 34 und somit andere Sektoren zu erhalten und auch die Schwächungsritze innerhalb der einzelnen Sektoren anders zu gestalten.To make it easier to mix both components, the bottom of the small container is designed in such a way that it can be opened without great effort. In In the present case, the floor has two ribs 34 which are perpendicular to one another (see FIGS. 1 and 4), as a result of which the floor is divided into four sectors. A weakening crack 35 (see FIG. 4) is arranged within each sector along the circumference and then partially along the ribs 34. The depth of this crack or the remaining wall thickness in the weakening crack is chosen such that the sectors can be pushed out without too much effort. It is of course possible to obtain a different arrangement of the ribs 34 and thus other sectors and also to design the weakening cracks differently within the individual sectors.

Die beschriebenen grossen Behälter für sich allein, mit dem polygonalen Flansch, und einem ähnlichen Verschluss, mit Gummidichtung, haben sich als sehr widerstandsfähig gegen Stösse bei Transporten mit der Bahn oder mit dem Lastwagen erwiesen und sind daher insbesondere für den Transport von Farben, Mörtel und Verputz geeignet. Der Widerstand gegenüber Stössen im Bodenbereich kann beim grossen Behälter dadurch erhöht werden, dass zwischen dem senkrechten Bodenrand 37 und dem Boden 30 Versteifungsrippen 38 vorgesehen werden, deren Richtung von der radialen Richtung abweicht.The large containers described on their own, with the polygonal flange, and a similar closure, with a rubber seal, have proven to be very resistant to shocks when transported by train or truck and are therefore particularly suitable for the transport of paints, mortar and Suitable for plastering. The resistance to impacts in the bottom area can be increased in the large container by providing stiffening ribs 38 between the vertical bottom edge 37 and the bottom 30, the direction of which deviates from the radial direction.

Die Herstellung eines Behälters mit einem einstückig mit dem Deckel aus Kunststoff gespritzten zweiten Behälter beschränkt sich nicht auf die oben beschriebene Ausführungsform. Es ist vielmehr möglich, einen zweiten Behälter an einem anderen Deckel anzubringen, der für einen anderen als oben beschriebenen Kunststoffbehälter verwendbar ist. Es kann unter Umständen auch zweckmässig sein, ein anderes Herstellungsverfahren als den Spritzguss zu verwenden.The production of a container with a second container injection-molded in one piece with the plastic lid is not limited to the embodiment described above. Rather, it is possible to attach a second container to another cover, which can be used for a plastic container other than that described above. It may also be appropriate to use a manufacturing process other than injection molding.

Zum Zwecke der Rationalisierung und weiterer Senkung der Herstellungskosten ist es nicht notwendig, für jeden Behältertyp einen kleinen Behälter anzufertigen. Es kann jeweils für eine Gruppe von Behältern mit verschiedenem Inhalt ein einziger Innenbehälter hergestellt werden. Dabei wird man zweckmässigerweise den Behälteroberteil für einige Typen mit den gleichen Massen herstellen und die Länge der Behälterwände variieren. Es ist weiterhin möglich, wie bei einem in der EP-A-0052172 dargestellten Verschluss an einem Kunststoffbehälter beschrieben ist, einen Ausguss aus Metall oder aus Weichplastik anzubringen. Ausserdem kann, wie dort beschrieben, ein anderes Kunststoffmaterial verwendet werden und die Deckel mittels Abreissbänder gesichert sein.For the purpose of rationalizing and further reducing the Manufacturing costs, it is not necessary to make a small container for each type of container. A single inner container can be produced for a group of containers with different contents. It will be convenient to manufacture the upper part of the container for some types with the same mass and vary the length of the container walls. It is also possible, as described for a closure shown in EP-A-0052172 on a plastic container, to attach a spout made of metal or soft plastic. In addition, as described there, another plastic material can be used and the covers can be secured by means of tear-off tapes.
