Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung mit einem eine Öffnung zur Entnahme eines Füllgutes freigebenden Aufreissverschluss mit einer Aufreisshilfe, wobei der Öffnungsbereich nach dem Aufreissen der Verpackung zum Einführen in den Mund zur direkten Einnahme des Füllgutes geeignet ist.The invention relates to a packaging with an opening for removal a zipper releasing a filling material with a tear aid, wherein the opening area after opening the packaging for insertion in the mouth is suitable for direct ingestion of the contents.

Bekannte flexible Verpackungen für Schokoladeriegel, Bisquits, Fruchtzwerge und dgl. essbare Süssigkeiten umfassen eine schlauchartige Umhüllung aus einem beidends über eine Klebe- oder Siegelnaht verschlossene Umhüllung aus einem Folienmaterial. Zur Entnahme des Füllgutes wird die Umhüllung an einem Ende aufgerissen, wobei der Aufreissvorgang üblicherweise durch eine Aufreisshilfe in Form einer Kerbe oder einer Schwächungslinie unterstützt wird. Durch die so entstandene Öffnung der schlauchartigen Verpackung kann das an der Innenseite der Umhüllung gleitende Füllgut durch entsprechendes Drücken am verschlossenen Ende durch die Öffnung aus der Verpackung geschoben werden. Diese Verpackungsart eignet sich insbesondere zur direkten Einnahme des Füllgutes, wobei der Öffnungsbereich nach dem Aufreissen der Verpackung in bzw. an den Mund geführt wird. Hierbei lässt es sich kaum vermeiden, dass z.B. nach einer Berührung an der Oberfläche der Verpackung anhaftende Bakterien und dgl. Krankheitserreger in den Mund gelangen. Die Gefahr einer Ansteckung ist insbesondere bei Kindern als hauptsächliche Konsumenten derart verpackter Süssigkeiten nicht zu unterschätzen.Known flexible packaging for chocolate bars, biscuits, fruit gnomes and the like. Edible sweets comprise a tubular casing an envelope sealed at both ends with an adhesive or sealed seam from a foil material. To remove the filling material, the wrapping is on torn open one end, the tearing process usually by a Ripping aid in the form of a notch or a line of weakness is supported. Because of the opening of the tube-like packaging, this can be done filling material sliding on the inside of the casing by means of a corresponding Push the closed end out of the packaging through the opening become. This type of packaging is particularly suitable for direct Intake of the filling material, the opening area after the opening of the Packaging is carried in or to the mouth. It’s hard to avoid that e.g. after touching the surface of the packaging adhering bacteria and the like pathogens get into the mouth. The Infection is particularly risky among children as the main consumers Confectionery packaged in this way should not be underestimated.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die nach dem Öffnen ohne Gefahr einer Kontaminierung mit Fremdkeimen zur direkten Einnahme des Füllgutes an oder in den Mund geführt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of packaging the entry to create the type mentioned after opening without risk of a Contamination with foreign germs for direct ingestion of the contents on or can be put in the mouth.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt, dass die Verpackung zumindest im Öffnungsbereich übereinanderliegende, voneinander gelöste oder lösbare, einen äusseren und einen inneren Verpackungsteil bildende Lagen von Verpackungsmaterial aufweist und die Aufreisshilfe am äusseren Verpakkungsteil so angeordnet ist, dass der äussere Verpackungsteil vom inneren Verpackungsteil in einem Abstand zur Öffnung getrennt und im Öffnungsbereich der innere Verpackungsteil freigelegt wird.The solution to the object according to the invention is that the packaging, at least in the opening area one above the other, detached from each other or Detachable layers forming an outer and an inner packaging part of packaging material and the tear-open aid on the outer packaging part is arranged so that the outer part of the packaging from the inner Packaging part separated from the opening and in the opening area the inner part of the packaging is exposed.

Beim Aufreissen der erfindungsgemässen Verpackung wird somit im Öffnungsbereich der kontaminierte äussere Verpackungsteil entfernt, wodurch der keimfreie innere Verpackungsteil freigelegt wird. Das auf diese Weise entstehende "aseptische Mundstück" kann deshalb ohne Gefahr einer Infektion zur Entnahme des Füllgutes direkt an oder in den Mund geführt werden.When the packaging according to the invention is torn open, it is in the opening area the contaminated outer packaging part is removed, causing the germ-free inner packaging part is exposed. The resulting in this way "Aseptic mouthpiece" can therefore be used without risk of infection Removal of the filling material directly to or into the mouth.

Bei einer ersten Ausführungsvariante kann der innere Verpackungsteil ein rohr- oder schlauchförmiges, ausserhalb des Öffnungsbereichs mit dem äusseren Verpackungsteil verbundenes Einsatzteil sein. Das Einsatzteil kann sich jedoch auch über die gesamte Länge der Verpackung erstrecken und muss in diesem Fall nicht zwingend am äusseren Verpackungsteil haften.In a first embodiment variant, the inner packaging part can be a tubular or tubular, outside the opening area with the outside Packing part connected insert. The insert part can, however also extend over the entire length of the packaging and must be in it Case does not necessarily adhere to the outer packaging part.

Eine bevorzugte zweite Ausführungsvariante der erfindungsgemässen Verpakkung umfasst ein aus einer gegen das Innere der Verpackung gerichteten Folie und aus einer gegen das Äussere der Verpackung gerichteten äusseren Folien aufgebautes Folienlaminat, wobei die innere und die äussere Folie im Öffnungsbereich nicht oder mit einer im Vergleich zur übrigen Verpackung geringeren Kraft aneinander haftet. Hierbei kann es zweckmässig sein, zur Bildung der Öffnung an der inneren Folie eine zweite Aufreisshilfe vorzusehen.A preferred second embodiment variant of the packaging according to the invention comprises a film directed against the inside of the packaging and from an outer film directed against the outside of the packaging built-up film laminate, with the inner and outer film in the opening area not or with a smaller one compared to the rest of the packaging Force sticks together.

Die beiden Enden der Umhüllung 12 sind durch Siegelnähte 14, 16 verschlossen.A packaging 10 shown in FIG. 1 for chocolate bars, for example has a tubular sheath 12 made of a sheet material on. The two ends of the casing 12 are closed by sealing seams 14, 16.

Wie in Fig. 3 detailliert dargestellt, umfasst die Umhüllung 12 ein aus einer gegen das Innere der Verpackung gerichteten inneren Folie 22 und aus einer gegen das Äussere der Verpackung gerichteten äusseren Folie 20 aufgebautes Folienlaminat 18. Die beiden Folien 20, 22 sind über einen Permanentkleber 24 zum Folienlaminat 18 verbunden, wobei im Öffnungsbereich der Verpakkung 10 eine klebstofffreie Zone 30 vorliegt. Diese klebstofffreie Zone 30 ist von einer ersten Schwächungslinie 26 als erste Aufreisshilfe in der äusseren Folie 20 und von einer zweiten Schwächungslinie 28 als zweite Aufreisshilfe in der inneren Folie 22 begrenzt. Hierbei liegt die zweite Schwächungslinie 28 in der inneren Folie 22 nahe dem durch die Siegelnaht 14 verschlossenen Ende der Verpackung 10 und die erste Schwächungslinie 26 in der äusseren Folie 20 in einem Abstand a zur zweiten Schwächungslinie 28.As shown in detail in Fig. 3, the envelope 12 comprises one from one against the inside of the packaging directed inner film 22 and from a counter the exterior of the packaging facing outer film 20 built Foil laminate 18. The two foils 20, 22 are over a permanent adhesive 24 connected to the film laminate 18, wherein in the opening area of the packaging 10 there is an adhesive-free zone 30. This is adhesive free zone 30 from a first weakening line 26 as a first tear aid in the outer Foil 20 and a second weakening line 28 as a second tear aid in the inner film 22 limited. Here, the second line of weakness 28 lies in the inner film 22 near the end closed by the sealing seam 14 the package 10 and the first line of weakness 26 in the outer film 20 at a distance a from the second line of weakness 28.

Zum Öffnen der Verpackung 10 wird deren durch die Siegelnaht 14 verschlossenes Ende ergriffen und von der übrigen Verpackung weggerissen. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die äussere Folie 20 bei der ersten Schwächungslinie 26 und die innere Folie 22 bei der zweiten Schwächungslinie 28 durchtrennt.In order to open the packaging 10, it is closed by the sealing seam 14 Gripped the end and torn away from the rest of the packaging. With this The process becomes the outer film 20 at the first weakening line 26 and sever the inner film 22 at the second line of weakness 28.

Die zweite Schwächungslinie 28 entspricht dem äusseren Rand 36 der entstandenen Öffnung 34. Das auf diese Weise entstandene, aus der inneren Folie 22 bestehende ,,Mundstück" der Länge a ist keimfrei und kann deshalb ohne gesundheitliche Bedenken zur Entnahme des Füllgutes - beispielsweise eines Schokoladeriegels 32 - direkt in den Mund genommen werden.Fig. 2 shows the opened package 10, which in the opening area from the inner Foil 22 of the adhesive-free zone 30 is made. The second line of weakness 28 corresponds to the outer edge 36 of the opening 34 created "mouthpiece" made in this way and consisting of the inner film 22 The length a is germ-free and can therefore be used without health concerns Removal of the filling material - for example a chocolate bar 32 - directly to be put in the mouth.

Eine in Fig. 4 dargestellte Beutelverpackung für z.B. Getränke besteht aus einer Folie oder einem Folienlaminat 42, das im Öffnungsbereich 44 schlauchförmig ausgebildet ist. Der Öffnungsbereich 44 ist auf gleiche Weise wie das offene Ende der schlauchförmigen Umhüllung von Fig. 1 über eine Siegelnaht 46 verschlossen. Im Gegensatz zu der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist hier keine klebstofffreie Zone zur Trennung von zwei Folienteilen des Laminates 42 vorgesehen. Anstelle der inneren Folie 22 der Verpackung 10 von Fig. 1 ist hier ein rohr- oder schlauchförmiges Einsatzteil 48 in die schlauchförmige Umhüllung im Öffnungsbereich 44 eingesetzt. Hierbei bildet das gegen das verschlossene Ende des schlauchförmigen Öffnungsbereichs 44 weisende Ende des Einsatzteils 48 die spätere Öffnung 34 der Beutelverpackung 40. An seinem anderen Ende ist das Einsatzteil 48 ausserhalb des Öffnungsbereichs über eine Klebstoffschicht 52 mit der Folie 42 verklebt. Im Abstand a zum Rand 36 der Öffnung 34 des Einsatzteils 48 ist die Folie 42 mit einer Schwächungslinie 50 als Aufreisshilfe versehen.A bag package shown in Fig. 4 for e.g. Drinks consists of a film or a film laminate 42 which is tubular in the opening area 44 is trained.
