Plastic container having an opening means

Abstract

A plastic container comprises a container body, a container cover, and an opening element for opening the container cover. A container opening is formed at an upper end of the container body lying opposite the container bottom. The container cover is fastened to the upper border of the container body in order to cover the container opening. The upper border is connected to the container wall at a distance radially outward from an upper edge of the container wall and by a flexible connecting portion, the flexible connecting portion permitting sliding of the upper border relative to the container wall and to the opening element such that the plastic container can be brought from a closed position into an open position.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a plastic container with opening means, comprising a container body and a container cover.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND[0002]Known from WO2012048922, CH700312, WO2006046730, WO03093128, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,705,462, 6,886,686, 4,247,001 and US2008067172 is a respective plastic container, which in a container chamber has an integrated dispensing device for dispensing substrates received into the container chamber into a mixing container. The plastic container is often designed as a container seal, or is placed on a mixing container opening during use. During activation of the dispensing device, the container is opened, and the substrate is dispensed from the container chamber into the mixing container.[0003]The plastic containers each comprise a container body, an ejector, and a sealing film. The container body here forms the container interior or the container chamber for receiving solid or liquid substrates, for example solid, free-flowing, or liqui...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a plastic container with a container opening and a container cover. The container cover can be fastened to the upper edge of the container body, which is connected to the container wall by a flexible connecting portion. This allows the container to be opened and closed easily. The flexible connecting portion allows for a slight movement of the upper border in relation to the container wall and the opening means, making it convenient to use the plastic container. The container is designed to protect a substrate, and the upper edge of the container wall serves as an opening means for the container cover. The technical effect of this design is to provide a convenient and easy-to-use plastic container for various applications.

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage to the known plastic containers is that they consist of several parts, which are separately fabricated and subsequently assembled in another step.

This costs time and money.

Another disadvantage to the known container systems is that the cut film or swiveled out closing cover often plunges into the liquid of the mixing container, and remains in this open position.

It is then almost impossible to cleanly remove the plastic container from the mixing container.

The structural design of the known containers with integrated dispensing device is also most often complex and expensive.

In addition, the sealing film cannot be torn or cut open in a controlled manner, so that handling the plastic container is prone to error.

Another disadvantage to the known container is that the substrate is dispensed uncontrollably and often along the peripheral edge region.

It can here happen, for example, that powdery or grainy substrate gets stuck to the interior surface of the mixing container neck, and is not dispensed completely and cleanly into the mixing container.
