AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a sachet that can be stored flat or upright. It is made of three layers that are joined together using extrusion lamination, which provides resistance to chemical and mechanical stress. The sachet can be set aside without leaking its contents. The technical effect of this design is that it allows for easy handling and convenient storage of the sachet.

Problems solved by technology

Aluminium tubes meet these requirements due to thick metal walls in combination with protective lacquer, however, aluminium tubes or bottles made of plastic materials, e.g. PVC have the disadvantage of being undesirable from an ecological point of view.
In particular, the manufacturing process is energy and cost intensive and the weight of the package is relatively high, thus leading to higher transportation costs.
Furthermore, from a functional point of view, due to thick walls and rigid neck portions these packages are hard to squeeze and to dispense completely, thus, leading to residual hair colorant component remaining in the package.
In particular, bottles made of plastic materials can only be used for low viscosity fluids.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]A hair colorant container according to the invention comprises a reservoir with an internal volume and a pouring spout on the upper side of the reservoir for dispensing, i.e. discharging the hair colorant component stored in the reservoir. The pouring spout is integrally formed with the reservoir and projects with an elongated shape from an upper edge, i.e. upper side of the reservoir. The width of the pouring spout is smaller than the width of the reservoir, whereby the pouring spout is insertable into a bottleneck of a second package. An inner flow channel of the pouring spout is in fluid communication with the internal volume of the reservoir.

[0016]In order to provide a tight seal prior to usage of the hair colorant component a removable tear tab is placed at the dispensing end of the pouring spout.

[0017]As the width of the pouring spout is relatively small, a hair colorant container with a relatively short tear distance is provided, so that the fingers of the user stay in ...
