Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einweg-Getränkepackung, insbesondere für Milch-Mischgetränke, in der das Getränk eingeschlossen ist und die für den Genuß des Getränkes öffenbar ist.The invention relates to a disposable beverage pack, in particular for mixed milk beverages, in which the beverage is enclosed and which can be opened for the enjoyment of the beverage.

Der Milchkonsum hat in den letzten Jahren insbesondere in hochzivilisierten Ländern stark nachgelassen, was einerseits darauf zurückzuführen ist, daß hier dem Konsumenten noch zahlreiche andere Getränke zur Verfügung stehen, und andererseits darauf, daß Milch durch Zubereitung, Transport und Lagerung viel von ihrer ursprünglichen Frische verliert und einen lauen, konsumhemmenden Geschmack bekommt.Milk consumption has declined significantly in recent years, particularly in highly civilized countries, which is due on the one hand to the fact that there are numerous other beverages available to consumers here, and on the other hand to the fact that milk loses much of its original freshness through preparation, transport and storage and gets a mild, consumption-inhibiting taste.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einweg-Getränkepackung, insbesondere für Milch-Mischgetränke zu schaffen, die einerseits dem Transport und der Lagerung dient und als Trinkgefäß verwendet werden kann, die jedoch darüber hinaus auch dazu verwendet werden kann, das in ihr enthaltene Getränk vor dem Genuß aufzufrischen.The invention has for its object to provide a disposable beverage pack, especially for mixed milk drinks, which is used for transport and storage on the one hand and can be used as a drinking vessel, but which can also be used in addition, the drink contained in it freshen up before enjoying.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Einweg-Getränkepackung gelöst, bei der der dem Getränk in der Packung zur Verfügung gestellte Raum der Packung vergrößerbar ist, so daß die Möglichkeit gegeben ist, den Packungsinhalt mehr oder weniger kräftig durchzuschütteln. Es hat sich nämlich gezeigt, daß Milch- und Milch-Mischgetränke bereits durch Schütteln vor dem Genuß viel von der ursprünglichen Frische zurückerhalten. Eine durch Schütteln bedingte Schaumbildung wird vom Konsumenten als angenehm erfrischend empfunden. Bei den bisher bekannten Einweg-Getränkepackungen ist ein solches Schütteln nicht möglich, da ihnen das zum Schütteln erforderliche zusätzliche Packungsvolumen fehlt. Bei ihnen ist das Packungsvolumen vollständig mit Getränk ausgefüllt, um einerseits unnötiges Transport-Volumen zu sparen und andererseits um einer vom Konsumenten unerwünschten Rahmbildung durch Schüttelbewegung beim Transport vorzubeugen.This object is achieved according to the invention by a disposable beverage pack in which the space of the pack made available to the drink in the pack can be enlarged, so that there is the possibility of shaking the contents of the pack more or less vigorously. It has been shown that mixed milk and milk beverages get back much of their original freshness by shaking them before consumption. Foaming caused by shaking is perceived by the consumer as pleasantly refreshing. Such a shaking is not possible with the previously known disposable beverage packs because they lack the additional packaging volume required for shaking. For them, the pack volume is completely filled with drink, on the one hand to save unnecessary transport volume and on the other hand to prevent the consumer from creating an undesirable cream by shaking during transport.

Die erfindungsgemäße Packung stellt eine Wegwerf-Packung dar, die einerseits als Transport- und Lagergefäß und andererseits als Shaker und Trinkgefäß dient.The pack according to the invention represents a disposable pack which serves on the one hand as a transport and storage vessel and on the other hand as a shaker and drinking vessel.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einweg-Getränkepackung kann der dem Getränk in der Packung zur Verfügung gestellte Raum der Packung um mindestens 20, vorzugsweise 30 bis 60 %, vergrößerbar sein, wodurch ein kräftiges Schütteln des Getränkes vor dem Konsum leicht durchführbar ist.In the disposable beverage package according to the invention, the space of the package made available to the beverage in the package can be enlarged by at least 20, preferably 30 to 60%, so that the beverage can be shaken vigorously before consumption.

Um ein ungewolltes Verspritzen des Getränkes beim Schütteln zu vermeiden, kann die erfindungsgemäße Packung nach dem öffnen wieder verschließbar sein, worauf in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsformen noch gesondert hingewiesen werden wird.In order to avoid undesired splashing of the beverage when shaken, the package according to the invention can be resealable after opening, as will be pointed out separately in the following description of preferred embodiments.

Der dem Getränk in der original verschlossenen Packung zur Verfügung gestellte Raum in der Packung ist vorzugsweise durch mindestens einen abziehbaren und/oder durchstoßbaren Flächenabschnitt, insbesondere eine Folie, verschlossen, so daß einerseits ein sicherer Transport und andererseits ein leichtes öffnen der Packung gewährleistet ist.The space in the package made available to the drink in the original sealed package is preferred closed by at least one removable and / or penetrable surface section, in particular a film, so that on the one hand a safe transport and on the other hand an easy opening of the package is ensured.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Aufnahmevolumen der Packung durch eine im wesentlichen reversible Verformung einer Packungswand verkleinert, wobei diese Verformung durch öffnen der Packung rückstellbar ist. Eine solche reversible Verformung kann beispielsweise dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Packung zur Verkleinerung ihres Aufnahmevolumens von außen mehr oder weniger leicht zusammengedrückt und dann erst gefüllt wird. Die nach innen gewölbte Packungswandung nimmt dann nach dem öffnen der Packung wieder die ursprüngliche Form ein, so daß dem Getränk dann das volle Aufnahmevolumen zur Verfügung steht und der Packungsinhalt durchgeschüttelt werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, the receptacle volume of the pack is reduced by an essentially reversible deformation of a pack wall, this deformation being recoverable by opening the pack. Such a reversible deformation can be achieved, for example, in that the package is compressed more or less slightly from the outside to reduce its holding volume and is only then filled. The inside wall of the package then takes on its original shape again after opening the package, so that the drink has the full volume available and the contents of the package can be shaken.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Packung zumindest bereichsweise nach Art eines Faltenbalges ausgebildet, wobei im geöffneten Zustand der Packung deren Aufnahmevolumen durch Verlängerung des Balges vergrößerbar ist. Eine solche Faltenbalg-Ausbildung ist sowohl bei quaderförmigen als auch bei becherförmigen Einweg-Packungen möglich, wobei das Zusammenziehen des Faltenbalges durch Vakuum in der Packung und die Verlängerung des Faltenbalges durch dessen eigene Rückstellkraft erzielt werden können.In a preferred embodiment, the packing is designed, at least in some areas, in the manner of a bellows, the receiving volume of which can be increased by extending the bellows when the packing is open. Such a bellows design is possible both in the case of cuboidal and cup-shaped disposable packs, the contraction of the bellows being able to be achieved by a vacuum in the pack and the bellows being lengthened by its own restoring force.

Packungen mit reversibler Verformung eignen sich besonders zum Aufschütteln von Fertig-Mischgetränken, insbesondere solchen mit Zutaten, die sich während der Lagerung abgesetzt haben.Packs with reversible deformation are particularly suitable for shaking ready-mixed drinks, especially those with ingredients that have settled during storage.

Um den Trinkgewohnheiten der Konsumenten Rechnung tragen zu können, kann als Packungs-Verschluß eine mit einem Trinkhalm durchstoßbare und vorzugsweise wieder verschließbare Perforationsfläche vorgesehen sein, wobei zum Wiederverschluß ein Selbstklebe-Streifen oder ein kleiner Stopfen vorgesehen sein kann.In order to be able to take into account the drinking habits of the consumers, a packaging straw can be pierced with a drinking straw and preferably again closable perforation surface can be provided, wherein a self-adhesive strip or a small stopper can be provided for reclosure.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einweg-Packung kann eine Kartonage mit mindestens einem umschlagbaren Falz sein, wobei die vorgenannte Perforationsfläche vorzugsweise an einer im umgelegten Zustand des Falzes. abgedeckten Stelle der Packung, insbesondere an der Falzinnenseite, angeordnet sein kann.The disposable package according to the invention can be a cardboard box with at least one foldable fold, the aforementioned perforation surface preferably being on one of the folded folds. covered point of the pack, in particular on the inside of the fold, can be arranged.

Der die Perforationsfläche aufweisende Packungsabschnitt liegt vorzugsweise außerhalb des Balges, so daß er beim Schütteln von einem Finger abgedeckt werden kann.The packing section having the perforation surface is preferably outside the bellows, so that it can be covered by a finger when shaken.

Der Faltenbalg ist vorzugsweise in der unteren Packungshälfte vorgesehen.The bellows is preferably provided in the lower half of the pack.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die erfindungsgemäße Einweg-Packung aus einem an sich bekannten, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten und mit einer Abdeckfolie flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossenen Becher, dem ein damit flüssigkeitsdicht verschließbarer Deckel zugeordnet ist. Das zum Schütteln erforderliche zusätzliche Packungsvolumen kann hier entweder dadurch erzielt werden, daß der Becher zunächst beispielsweise nur zu 80 % gefüllt wird und dann mit einer durch Vakuum nach innen gezogenen Abdeckfolie abgedeckt wird. In diesem Falle kann dem Becher ein mehr oder weniger ebener Verschlußdeckel zugeordnet sein.In a preferred embodiment, the disposable pack according to the invention consists of a cup which is known per se, preferably made of plastic and sealed liquid-tight with a cover film, to which a lid which can thus be closed in a liquid-tight manner is assigned. The additional packing volume required for shaking can either be achieved here by first filling the cup, for example, only 80%, and then covering it with a cover film drawn inward by vacuum. In this case, the cup can be assigned a more or less flat closure lid.

Das zum Schütteln erforderliche zusätzliche Packungsvolumen kann hier aber auch dadurch erzielt werden, daß der Becher mehr oder weniger vollständig gefüllt und mit einer ebenen Abdeckfolie abgedeckt und nach deren Entfernung mit einem nach außen gewölbten Verschlußdeckel versehen wird. Das heißt, der dem Becher zugeordnete Deckel kann ein Eigenvolumen aufweisen, indem er beispielsweise haubenartig ausgebildet ist.The additional packing volume required for shaking can also be achieved here by filling the cup more or less completely and covered with a flat cover film and after removal is provided with an outwardly curved cover. This means that the lid assigned to the cup can have a volume of its own, for example by being designed like a hood.

Der dem Becher zugeordnete Deckel kann zudem ein Behältnis für Zutaten zur Herstellung von Milch-Mischgetränken, Fruchtcocktails oder Milchshakes enthalten. Dieses Behältnis kann mit dem Deckel fest verbunden sein, wobei eine Wand des Behältnisses von der Deckelinnenseite gebildet wird.The lid assigned to the cup can also contain a container for ingredients for the production of mixed milk drinks, fruit cocktails or milkshakes. This container can be firmly connected to the lid, a wall of the container being formed from the inside of the lid.

Die Becher-Abdeckfolie kann eine Grifflasche aufweisen, die vorzugsweise nach oben umgeschlagen ist, so daß der Deckel ohne hierbei von der Abdeckfolie behindert zu sein, auf den Becher aufschiebbar ist. Ferner kann der Becher einen umlaufenden, dem aufgeschobenen Deckel als Widerlager dienenden Anschlag aufweisen.The cup cover film can have a grip tab, which is preferably turned upwards, so that the cover can be pushed onto the cup without being hindered by the cover film. Furthermore, the cup can have a circumferential stop which serves as an abutment for the pushed-on lid.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen und der folgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsformen im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung.Further details, features and advantages of the invention result from the claims and the following description of preferred embodiments in connection with the drawing.

Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Einweg-Packung ist aus einem kunststoffbeschichteten Karton hergestellt und im wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgebildet. Diese Packung entspricht in ihren Abmessungen im wesentlichen den bisher bekannten quaderförmigen Einweg-Packungen. Im Gegensatz zu diesen weist die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Einweg-Packung jedoch in ihrer unteren Hälfte einen Faltenbalg-Bereich 1 auf. Außerdem ist die dargestellte Einweg-Packung im Unterschied zu den bisher bekannten quaderförmigen Einweg-Packungen mit zwei Perforationsflächen 2, 3 versehen. Die eine dieser Perforationsflächen 2 ist in einer Ecke der oberen Stirnfläche vorgesehen und die andere Perforationsfläche 3 an der Innenseite eines Falzes 4, so daß sie dann, wenn dieser Falz umgelegt ist (vgl. Fig. 1),unzugänglich ist.The disposable pack shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is made from a plastic-coated cardboard and is essentially cuboid. The dimensions of this pack essentially correspond to the previously known rectangular single-use packs. In contrast to these, however, the disposable pack shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a bellows area 1 in its lower half. In addition, in contrast to the previously known rectangular single-use packs, the disposable pack shown is provided with two perforation surfaces 2, 3. One of these perforation surfaces 2 is provided in a corner of the upper end face and the other perforation surface 3 on the inside of a fold 4, so that when this fold is folded (see FIG. 1) it is inaccessible.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Einweg-Packung ist geschlossen und vollständig mit Getränk gefüllt. Durch Unterdruck im Packungsinneren liegen die Falten des Faltenbalgbereiches 1 dicht aufeinander und können auch durch unachtsame Behandlung der Packung nicht auseinandergezogen werden.The disposable package shown in Figure 1 is closed and completely filled with drink. Due to negative pressure in the interior of the pack, the folds of the bellows area 1 lie closely on one another and can also be caused by careless handling not be pulled apart.

Soll der in Figur 1 dargestellten Einweg-Packung das in ihr befindliche Getränk über einen Trinkhalm entnommen werden, so bestehen hierzu zwei Möglichkeiten. Zum einen kann mit dem Trinkhalm die auf der oberen Stirnseite der Packung vorgesehene Perforationsfläche 2 durchstoßen werden. Zum anderen kann der Falz 4 hochgeschlagen und die auf dessen Unterseite vorgesehene Perforationsfläche 3 durchstoßen werden. In beiden Fällen bewirkt ein Durchstoßen der Perforationsfläche 2 bzw. 3, daß sich der Faltenbalgbereich 1 aufgrund seiner Eigenelastizität auffaltet und Luft oberhalb des Getränkes einströmt. Dem in der Packung befindlichen Getränk steht jetzt ein größeres Packungsvolumen als vorher zur Verfügung, so daß es vom Packungsbenutzer leicht geschüttelt werden kann, wobei die durchstoßene Perforationsfläche 2 bzw. 3 zur Vermeidung von Spritzern wieder verschlossen werden sollte. Das Verschließen der Perforationsfläche 2 bzw. 3 kann unter Zuhilfenahme eines Fingers erfolgen. Hierzu kann jedoch auch ein kleines Stück Selbstklebefolie verwendet werden, das die Perforationsfläche zuvor abdeckte. Denkbar und in vielen Fällen auch zweckmäßig wäre auch ein kleiner, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigter Stopfen, der mit dem Trinkhalm der Packung beigelegt oder außen an deren Wandung angeklebt sein könnte, so daß er mit dem Trinkhalm im unbenutzten Zustand mit der Packung eine Versandeinheit bildet.If the disposable pack shown in FIG. 1 is to be removed from a drink through a drinking straw, there are two possibilities. On the one hand, the perforation surface 2 provided on the upper end face of the pack can be pierced with the drinking straw. On the other hand, the fold 4 can be turned up and the perforation surface 3 provided on its underside can be pierced. In both cases, piercing the perforation surface 2 or 3 causes the bellows area 1 to unfold due to its inherent elasticity and air to flow in above the beverage. The beverage in the package now has a larger package volume than before, so that it can be easily shaken by the package user, the perforated surface 2 or 3 being pierced should be closed again to avoid splashes. The perforation surface 2 or 3 can be closed with the aid of a finger. However, a small piece of self-adhesive film that previously covered the perforation surface can also be used for this. Also conceivable and in many cases also useful would be a small stopper, for example made of plastic, which could be enclosed with the drinking straw of the pack or glued to the outside of the wall, so that it forms a shipping unit with the drinking straw when not in use with the pack.

Wird mit dem Trinkhalm die am Falz 4 vorgesehen Perforationsfläche 3 durchstoßen, so sind zum Wiederverschließen der Perforationsfläche 3 keine besonderen Vorkehrungen zu treffen. Hier genügt es, den Falz 4 wieder nach unten, d.h. gegen die Außenseite der Packungswandung zu drücken, denn dieses Umlegen des Falzes 4 um dessen Falzkante 5 bewirkt, daß die durch das Durchstoßen der Perforationsfläche 3 geschaffene öffnung wieder so dicht geschlossen wird, daß-auch beim Schütteln der Packung kein Getränk verspritzt werden kann.If the perforation surface 3 provided on the fold 4 is pierced with the drinking straw, no special precautions need to be taken to reclose the perforation surface 3. Here it is enough to fold down 4 again, ie to press against the outside of the pack wall, because this folding of the fold 4 around its fold edge 5 causes the opening created by piercing the perforation surface 3 to be closed again so tightly that no drink can be splashed even when the pack is shaken.

Die in den Figuren 3 bis 5 dargestellte Einweg-Packung besteht im wesentlichen aus einem kegelstumpfförmigen Becher 6, der vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist und mit einer Abdeckfolie 7 flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossen ist. Die Abdeckfolie 7 ist mit einer Grifflasche 8 versehen, die in Figur 3 nach außen und in Figur 5 nach oben umgeschlagen ist. Der Becher 6 weist in seinem oberen Bereich einen umlaufenden Wulst oder Anschlag 9 auf, der einem von oben her auf den Becher 6 aufschiebbaren Deckel 10 als Anschlag dient.The disposable pack shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 essentially consists of a frustoconical cup 6, which is preferably made of plastic and is sealed with a cover film 7 in a liquid-tight manner. The cover film 7 is provided with a grip tab 8, which is turned outwards in FIG. 3 and upwards in FIG. 5. The cup 6 has in its upper region a circumferential bead or stop 9 which serves as a stop for a cover 10 which can be pushed onto the cup 6 from above.

Zur Befestigung der Abdeckfolie 7, die vorzugsweise durch Verklebung erfolgt, kann der obere Rand des Bechers 6 dicker ausgebildet sein (vgl. Figur 5, rechts) oder mit einem Innenrand versehen sein (vgl. Figur 5, links). Beides gibt dem oberen Rand des Bechers 6 genügend Steifigkeit, um flüssigkeitsdicht mit dem Deckel 10 verschlossen zu werden.To attach the cover film 7, which is preferably done by gluing, the upper edge of the cup 6 can be made thicker (see FIG. 5, right) or be provided with an inner edge (see FIG. 5, left). Both give the upper edge of the cup 6 sufficient rigidity to be closed with the lid 10 in a liquid-tight manner.

Wie in Figur 5 dargestellt, kann die Abdeckfolie 7 zunächst nach innen gezogen ausgebildet sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß der Becher 6 nach Abziehen der Abdeckfolie 7 nicht völlig mit Getränk gefüllt ist. Er weist vielmehr noch genügend zusätzliches Fassungsvermögen auf, so daß zu dem im Becher 6 befindlichen Getränk gewünschtenfalls noch Zutaten zur Herstellung eines Mixgetränkes, wie beispielsweise Fruchtzubereitungen, Gewürz-und/oder Kräutermischungen, schaumbildende Zutaten, zugegeben werden können, ohne daß der Becher 6 überläuft. Durch Aufschieben des Deckels 10 wird das Fassungsvermögen des Bechers 6 zudem so stark erweitert, daß der Becherinhalt durchgeschüttelt werden kann.As shown in FIG. 5, the cover film 7 can initially be formed inwardly. This has the advantage that the cup 6 is not completely filled with drink after the cover film 7 has been removed. Rather, it still has enough additional capacity, so that, if desired, ingredients for the production of a beverage in the cup 6 can be made Mixed drinks, such as fruit preparations, spice and / or herbal mixtures, foam-forming ingredients, can be added without the cup 6 overflowing. By pushing on the lid 10, the capacity of the cup 6 is also expanded so much that the contents of the cup can be shaken.

Die vorerwähnten Zutaten können vor dem Einfüllen in den Becher 6 im Inneren des Deckels 10 beispielsweise in einem kleinen Behältnis angeordnet sein, das im Inneren des Deckels 10 angeordnet ist. Bei diesem Behältnis kann es sich um einen kleinen Papier- oder Kunststoffbeutel oder aber auch um einen napfförmigen Behälter handeln, der in das Innere des Deckels 10 einschiebbar und dort von Deckel-Vorsprüngen gehalten wird, so daß die Innenseite des Deckels 10 den Zutatenbehälter nach oben hin abdeckt. Der Deckel 10 kann so ausgebildet und der in ihm gehalterte Zutaten-Behälter so angeordnet sein, daß sich der Zutaten-Behälter durch Eindrücken des Deckels 10 aus diesem löst. Zutaten zur Mischgetränkeherstellung könnten so auch in verpreßter Form im Deckel 10 untergebracht werden.The aforementioned ingredients can be arranged in the interior of the lid 10, for example in a small container which is arranged in the interior of the lid 10 before being filled into the cup 6. This container can be a small paper or plastic bag or a cup-shaped container which can be inserted into the interior of the lid 10 and held there by lid projections, so that the inside of the lid 10 moves the ingredient container upwards covers. The lid 10 can be designed and the ingredient container held in it can be arranged such that the ingredient container is released from the lid 10 by pressing it in. Ingredients for the production of mixed drinks could also be accommodated in the lid 10 in a compressed form.

Statt des in Figur 3 und 4 dargestellten, gewölbt ausgebildeten Becherdeckels 10 könnte auch ein im wesentlichen ebener Deckel verwendet werden. Der Becher 6 brauchte dann nur mit einem dem Faltenbalgbereich 1 entsprechenden Faltenbalgbereich versehen zu werden, was ebenfalls durchaus möglich wäre. Eine Aufnahmevolumenvergrößerung könnte beim Becher 6 auch dadurch erzielt werden, daß er beispielsweise nur zu 80 % mit Getränk gefüllt und dann unter Vakuum mit der Abdeckfolie 7 verschlossen wird, so daß sich Wandungsbereiche des Bechers 6 nach innen wölben, die dann nach dem Entfernen der Abdeckfolie aufgrund ihrer eigenen Rückstellkraft für eine Vergrößerung des Aufnahmevolumens des Bechers 6 sorgen.Instead of the arched cup lid 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an essentially flat lid could also be used. The cup 6 then only needed to be provided with a bellows area corresponding to the bellows area 1, which would also be quite possible. An increase in the volume of the cup 6 could also be achieved, for example, by filling it only 80% with drink and then sealing it with the cover sheet 7 under vacuum, so that wall areas of the cup 6 bulge inwards, which then after the cover sheet has been removed provide for an increase in the volume of the cup 6 due to their own restoring force.
