Problems solved by technology

Problems with this solution include difficulty in controlling the amount dispensed during pouring and / or in preventing leakage of the contents when the package is closed, in the latter case exposing the packaged product to moisture, external vermin, improper use by children, etc. influences
[0005] Prior art solutions aimed at overcoming the above-mentioned problems include attaching hinges or tape or "tintie" closures to the enclosure (for example, at the wing (flap) near the top joint (joint 10), but these prior art have the drawback that it is difficult to dispense a controlled amount of the contents without the aid of a spoon and shovel, which makes using up more content becomes more difficult to implement

Embodiment Construction

[0016] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , the container is generally indicated by reference A and comprises an enclosure 9 of flexible material capable of adapting to the shape of the contents. Container A can vary in size and generally has a bag-like or bag-like shape. The container A can be used for dispensing different kinds of products such as coffee, salt, sugar, detergent etc. in the form of granules or powder or flakes.

[0017] For the flexible material of the enclosure 9, a biodegradable or non-biodegradable sheet of polymer material, eg polyethylene or paper, can be used. exist figure 1 , figure 2 and image 3 In the embodiment shown in , the enclosure 9 has vertical side walls 18 . The shape of container A can change over time (eg, if the container is crumpled or folded). The shape of the enclosure 9 shown in the figures is to be considered as an example only. The enclosure 9 has wings 20 at the top that join together along the edges 10 and / or side flaps 12 to...

Abstract

A container comprises a flexible packaging (9) suitable for containing a product in the form of granules, powder or flakes. A first cut (22) is made in an outer wall (18) of the packaging, said cut forming a first through-opening (21) for pouring. A pouring spout (24) is inserted in the first opening (21). The spout is pivotable about a horizontal hinge line (x), between a retracted closed position and an extended open position. A reinforcing element (26) is attached to a portion of the packaging (9) around the first opening (21) and the spout (24). The reinforcing element (26) is more rigid than the flexible packaging (9) and has a second through-cut that forms a second opening (26c) in the reinforcing element (26), juxtaposed on the first opening (21) in the packaging (9) and communicating with the latter opening.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container for products in the form of granules, powder or flakes, the container being made of a flexible material. Background technique [0002] Products in the form of granules, powders or flakes, such as detergents, coffee or other food products, are commonly sold in packages made of flexible materials. Commonly used containers are made of various types of paper, cardboard, plastic or multilayer materials and combinations. [0003] Unlike rigid or semi-rigid enclosures, the main feature of this type of enclosure is the ability to accommodate the changing volume (and possibly shape) of the contents as it is consumed. However, packages of the aforementioned type have a number of drawbacks related to the need for the package to include an opening suitable for pouring the contents. [0004] A commonly used solution consists in cutting or removing part of the package, usually the top corner, by figure 1 The example in is show...
