Definitions
- the invention relates to a two-chamber compressed gas pack, essentially consisting of a can body and a bellows with a bottom and a collar which is turned inside the can body during the movement, and a method for its production.
- a two-chamber compressed gas pack represents a container for holding and dispensing liquid and pasty products under pressure and consists of a rigid, mostly metallic outer container, the can body, in which a bellows with a rigid bottom and an invertible collar is fastened in such a way that two chambers are formed are, one being filled with the removal product and the other with a propellant gas which is under increased pressure or a pressure-generating liquid.
- the pressure relief of the propellant gas takes place via a valve attached to the product, which allows product to flow out of the pack when actuated.
- Such containers have the advantage over the known spray cans that the propellant which expels the product remains in the container and, moreover, does not come into contact with the product. The latter circumstance is of particular importance when the product is a food, cosmetic or medicinal product.
- the two-chamber pressurized gas packs according to the prior art presented have the major disadvantages that multipart can bodies are absolutely necessary and / or that the inserted support ring builds up a very large frictional force which hinders the application of the product due to a lack of differential pressure between the chambers. In addition, the material expenditure of the bellows and possibly the support ring is considerable.
- the inventors have therefore set themselves the task of developing a two-chamber compressed gas pack which does not have such disadvantages and of developing processes for its production.
- the two-chamber compressed gas pack according to the invention is thus characterized in that not only the collar end is used to seal the chambers, with the effect that the collar can collapse radially.
- the sealing surface is large - at least larger than in the case of the seal according to the prior art presented - so that small deformations of the cylindrical Body of the pressurized gas pack without influencing the tightness of the collapsed during the movement remains during handling of the pack.
- the can body can be produced in a manner known per se from the materials usually used for this purpose.
- plastics and ductile metallic materials and / or their composites are used - e.g. an injection-molded plastic blank, the wall of which is thinned out by thermoforming, thermoformed plastic composite, thermoformed and / or stretched aluminum-plastic composite, or in particular an extruded, soft-annealed and internally varnished sleeve with a base which may have a secondary molding element, the last of which Both possibilities at the open end facing the product can be provided for an outward doubling of the collar - for use.
- FIG. 4 a section through a compressed gas pack drawn in sections during manufacture with
- the two-chamber compressed gas pack consists of a can body 10 with a bottom 6 containing a valve 5 and a valve plate 9 fastened by a rolled edge 7 and containing a product removal valve 8.
- a bellows 20 with a rigid bottom 23 which has an annular or otherwise designed secondary form element 2 can be integrally formed, and contain collar 21.
- the collar 21, which is made of flexible material, is fastened with its entire jacket surface to the inner wall 11 of the can body 10. The attachment can take place, for example, by means of friction and / or positive locking or with the aid of an adhesive 30.
- two chambers are created, namely one between the bottom 23 of the bellows 20 and the bottom 6 of the can body 10, the propellant gas-containing chamber 12 and a chamber 22 lying between the bottom 6 of the bellows 20 and valve plate 9 of the can body 10 and containing the removal product.
- the collar 21 is fastened to the inner wall 11 of the can body 10 in such a way that when the Valve 8, the propellant gas introduced into the chamber 12 with overpressure, can depressurize the bottom 23 of the bellows 20 in the direction of the valve 8, the connection between the collar 21 and the inner wall 11 peeling off as far as the inverting of the collar 21 (in the area of the preforming 24 ) from the bottom 23 and collar 21.
- an annular fold holder 26 can be inserted into the bellows 20.
- Fig. 2 shows a possibility of attachment.
- the bellows 20 with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the can body 10 is inserted into the can body 10 and then the can body 10 is reduced in diameter at least in the jacket region of the collar 21 by a pull-in ring 60 with a conical inlet 61 and thereby shrunk onto the bellows 10.
- This particularly suitable method is preferably used when both the can body 10 and the bellows 20 consist of metal, in particular an aluminum material.
- the collar 21 is connected to the inner wall 11 of the can body 10 by applying pressure to the wall 46 facing the collar 21, facing the collar 21, before the valve is installed, by applying pressure via corresponding feeders 47 ⁇ plate 9 inserted expansion mandrel 45 of the collar '21 is pressed onto the inner wall 11 of the can body 10.
- the collar 21 and the inner wall 11 of the can body 10 are fitted by pushing the bellows 20 onto a mandrel in the region of the collar 21 which has a slightly smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the bellows 40, - when using a contact adhesive, it is at room temperature, when using a hot melt, it is preheated -, insert this part arrangement before installing the Valve plates 9 in the can body 10 and subsequent rolling of a roller 50 rotatably arranged on a shaft 51 on the outer wall 13 of the can body 10 in the peripheral region of the collar 21 are connected to one another.
