Description

Title of the invention: DISPOSABLE PACKAGING IN THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGULAR PRISM Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a disposable packaging in the shape of a triangular prism which allows sterile and practical use of thick liquid products (shampoo, shower gel, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.) used in many fields such as food and cosmetics. Invention Infrastructure

[0002] Ease of transportation and the proliferation of motorized vehicles equipped with cold rooms make it possible to deliver food or perishable products over long distances. Differences in these transportation processes and in the way users use the products have led to differences in the types of product packaging.

[0003] Nowadays, the frequent transportation of products leads to an increase in misinformation during transport. Therefore, packaging is necessary to ensure that the product does not encounter different environmental conditions, does not lose its sterility and does not compromise the integrity of the product until it reaches its owner. The main objective of packaging is to prevent the product from being exposed to external factors and to add practicality to the type of use.

[0004] Packaging technology, which is an integral part of the product production process, has been developing almost since pre-industrial production. This technology, developed with an individual coating model, was later transformed into mass packaging production with industrial products and production. In this context, along with the multiplication of product development models in the process, packaging models also participated in the development process.

[0005] The main elements to consider in packaging are functionality, durability and practicality. The durability of packaging is linked to the preservation of the product because the mission of preventing products from coming into direct contact with external factors is achieved through packaging.

[0006] The practicality of packaging depends on its density, lightness, flexibility, hardness, softness and, above all, the type of packaging (shape), which varies depending on the mode of use or location.

[0007] Specially manufactured and convenient to use packaging also contributes to the purchasing policies of manufacturers, as the expectations of the target audience are high. for manufacturers of the products to be packaged. Satisfying these packaging expectations and the practical expectations of the consumer public are taken into account during the selection phase. In addition, value for money is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing packaging.

[0008] The types of packaging available vary considerably. Depending on the product types, different packaging options such as plastic bottles, small glass bottles, mini bags, foil bag packaging, etc. are available. These types of packaging are generally preferred for thick liquids and do not provide much practicality, even though they are designed to provide convenience to consumers. Disposable shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel bottles, especially those used in hotel bathrooms, are the most typical and common examples of disposable packaging. These existing packages are not sterile and closed products. It can be used as contract filling and the bottles can be refilled after the first use. Moreover, it is not convenient for the consumer.Because there is a lot of product left at the bottom of the bottles, and although there are already 15 to 20 grams of product inside, half of this product is wasted. Under these conditions, the packaging of disposable bottles does not offer practicality, contrary to popular belief, both in terms of sterility and product savings.

[0009] Sachet and foil pouch packaging is often preferred for liquid or thick liquid products such as ketchup, mayonnaise, olive oil, mustard, soy sauce, etc. These packages are used by squeezing them after opening. Although these overused packages are among the preferred choices of restaurants, they do not satisfy users and do not save on products. Due to the small amount of products in the package, users buy a second and third package instead of using one. In this case, this leads to negative consequences such as increasing costs and converting consumption into waste, thus increasing plastic waste pollution.Additionally, these sachets must be used as soon as they are opened, as the sachets cannot stand upright on the table and they contaminate users' hands when opening the package.

[0010] Another feature that makes the triangular prism-shaped disposable packaging more advantageous than existing packaging is that the invention is lighter than existing packaging and thus facilitates transportation. In addition, the invention aims to reduce the weight of the packaging and increase the amount of product it will contain.

[0011] The invention eliminates all the disadvantages of existing disposable packaging, allowing consumers to use the products in a convenient manner, ensuring that the products reach the user without losing their sterility, being designed in different prism designs to facilitate transport and use, saving money, on the product by having more grammage than the existing disposable packaging, and facilitating packaging when opening the lid. Its objective is to ensure that all the products contained inside can be used without being wasted.

[0012] The invention provides convenience to users due to its shape and ability to stand upright after opening. In addition, due to its triangular structure, all the products it contains can be used and avoid waste. In addition, the ergonomic serrated finger on the side of the triangular prism-shaped disposable packages makes it easier for users to hold and use the package.

[0013] Thanks to this invention, the product it contains does not contaminate the consumer's hands or the environment during its use. When it is used or the product it contains is finished, it can be thrown directly into the trash. For this reason, it offers very hygienic conditions of use at the table.

[0014] The material in which the invention will be made varies depending on the geographical and climatic conditions of the country in which it will be used, which helps to avoid unwanted misinformation on the packaging and damage to the product contained in the invention. The invention can be made from PVC, PET, PS, PP, PS+PE, PET+PE, PS+PE, PA+PE, PP+PE, XPP+PE and similar or biodegradable materials.

[0015] Before the invention takes its final form and goes to filling, it is cooled on the production line and the products to be filled cannot be damaged. All production and filling steps of the invention are carried out in a closed environment. This production environment is supported by HEPA filters and additional support filters to ensure that the air is sterilized to the highest level. If necessary, a protective gassing system or ultraviolet light can be added for sterilization of the products to be filled. The shaped package arrives at the filling station and is filled with the material at the required temperature. Liquid and / or particulate products of all viscosities are introduced into the filling unit. The products are packed into the packages as precisely as possible in the desired volume and / or weight.

[0016] In the invention, the upper films are PA+PE, ALU, PAPER+PE, MED, which are bonded to the shaped lower sheet after filling the product in a manner that cannot be opened by thermal, ultrasonic or similar means. PAPER, TYVEK+PE, ALU, ALU+OPP, ALU+PET, OPP, ALU +THERM0 LAC and many other various materials can be used as required and / or are biodegradable.

[0017] Packaging designs can be a triangular pyramid, a truncated cone, or a combination of both. These differences also allow for packaging products in larger volumes. The initial planned volume is 40 ml. The filled products of different shapes are randomly placed at the end of the production line and, since they are very nicely packaged, the products also retain their shape during transport. Since they remain under pressure during transport and distribution, leaks, bursts, and similar problems are rarely encountered compared to competing products.

[0018] The structural features as well as all the advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood from the detailed description written below, and therefore this evaluation should be made taking into account this detailed description. Figures Helping to Explain the Invention

[0032] In this detailed explanation, the subject matter of the invention is related to triangular prism-shaped disposable packages and is explained solely for a better understanding of the subject matter and in a manner that does not create any limiting effect.

[0033] The invention in question is, • the visor (1), which is the part that protrudes where the hopper (3) meets the cover (2), ensuring that the invention is not damaged during impacts, • the cover (2) which covers the upper part of the prism-shaped chamber (3) and ensures that the product is kept in the hopper, • the main part where the products are filled is the hopper (3), • small locking tab (4) placed on the cover (2) in connection with the visor (1), allowing the cover to be opened gradually. • finger zone (5) located on either side of the hopper (3), with a serrated and ergonomic structure, facilitating gripping by users, • It contains the parts of the polar region (6) which allow the invention to stand upright and are located at the base, above the hopper (3). • it contains recesses (7) which allow the top sheet (2) and the bottom sheet of the cover to be easily opened.

[0034] According to the invention, the cover (2) consists of two parts: a lower sheet and an upper sheet. These parts are sealed to each other and only the lower sheet is sealed to the visor (1) at the tip, while the tip of the upper sheet remains separate. The lower sheet completely covers the visor and the upper sheet can be removed and opened easily by finding an opening in one part. From the upper corner of the invention, it is clearly visible from the upper sheet where it will be opened, and a small recess has been created in the lower sheet using a forming mold so that it can be easily separated from the lower sheet, foil. When opening the package, the lower layer and the upper layer are easily separated from each other from the lower aluminum visor (1) thanks to this small recess.There is a locking tab (4) on the top sheet to prevent the product inside from opening more than intended by opening the package too much. These locking tabs (4) are created with the aim that the consumer unintentionally opens the package too much and causes the product inside to overflow and be wasted. The lid sheets (1) are sealed in such a way that they cannot be opened by heat, ultrasound or other methods, without human contact.

[0035] The material in which the invention will be made varies depending on the geographical and climatic conditions of the country in which it will be used, which makes it possible to avoid any unwanted misinformation on the packaging and any damage to the product contained in the invention. The invention can be made from PVC, PET, PS, PP, PS+PE, PET+PE, PS+PE, PA+PE, PP+PE, XPP+PE and similar or biodegradable materials.

[0036] Before the triangular prism-shaped disposable package takes its final shape and is filled, it is cooled on the production line to avoid damage to the products to be filled. All production and filling steps of the invention are carried out in a closed environment. This production environment is supported by HEPA filters and additional support filters to ensure that the air is sterilized to the highest level. If necessary, a gassing system Protective or ultraviolet light can be added for sterilization of the products to be filled. The shaped package arrives at the filling station and is filled with the material at the required temperature. Liquid and / or particulate products of all viscosities are introduced into the filling unit. The products are packed into the packages as precisely as possible in the desired volume and / or weight.

[0037] In the invention, the upper films are PA+PE, ALU, PAPER+PE, MED, which are bonded to the shaped lower sheet after filling the product in a manner that cannot be opened by thermal, ultrasonic or similar means. PAPER, TYVEK+PE, ALU, ALU+OPP, ALU+PET, OPP, ALU +THERM0 LAC and many other various materials can be used as required and / or are biodegradable.

[0038] In Figures 1a, 1b and 1c, 3 basic shapes or their differences are shown with minor differences, provided that they are suitable for the intended use function. The packaging designs can be a triangular pyramid, a truncated cone or a combination of both. These differences also allow the products to be packaged in larger or smaller volumes. The intended initial volume is 40 ml. The filled products of different shapes are randomly placed at the end of the production line and, since they are very nicely packaged, the products also retain their shape during transport. Since they remain under pressure during transport and distribution, leaks, bursts and similar problems are rarely encountered compared to competing products.

[0039] The technical features and all other features mentioned in each claim are followed by a reference number, and these reference numbers are used only to facilitate the understanding of the claims. They should therefore not be considered as limiting the scope of any of the process steps specified in these claims, reference numbers being given by way of example.

[0040] It is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation put forward in the invention by using similar structures and / or apply this structure to other fields having similar purposes used in the relevant art. It is therefore obvious that such structures will not meet the criteria of innovation and above all will exceed the known state of the art.
