Abstract

A device for securing a tube closure against its premature opening before delivery to the end user is intended to provide a tube seal which immediately shows the purchaser, for example, that there has been no tampering and at the same time it is ensured that the tube's usability has not been adversely affected at the seller's premises while also ensuring that the tube securing device itself is easy to produce. This is achieved in that the device is made up of a cardboard section (1a) surrounding the tube closure (2) and a section of the tube body (3), and the cardboard section (1a) has a pressure-sensitive adhesive seal (10) for securing it to the tube body (3).

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Sicherung eines Tubenverschlusses gegen unerwünschtes Öffnen der Tube vor Abgabe an den Endverbraucher.The invention relates to a device for securing a tube closure against unwanted opening of the tube before delivery to the end user.

Tuben werden insbesondere für pastöse Stoffe auf dem Lebensmittelsektor, auf dem Chemiesektor, bei Farben, Klebstoffen u. dgl., in der Kosmetikindustrie usw. in vielfacher Weise eingesetzt, wobei die Tuben aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen können. Man ist dabei bemüht, eine derartige Gestaltung zu treffen, daß der Tubeninhalt gegen unberechtigten Gebrauch geschützt ist, d. h., daß die Unversehrtheit der Originalverpakkung gewährleistet ist. Eine Art einer derartigen Sicherung besteht insbesondere bei Tuben aus metallischen Werkstoffen darin, die Spendeöffnung geschlossen zu gestalten, die dann mittels eines Dornes od. dgl., der häufig in der Verschlußkappe integriert ist, aufgestochen werden muß. Es gibt aber eine Reihe von Einsatzfällen, in denen ein derartiger Verschluß in der Spendeöffnung nicht möglich ist oder nicht gewünscht wird, um beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Tube deren Handhabung zu erleichtern.Tubes are used in particular for pasty substances in the food sector, in the chemical sector, in paints, adhesives and the like. Like., Used in the cosmetics industry, etc. in many ways, the tubes can be made of different materials. It is endeavored to design such that the tube contents are protected against unauthorized use. that is, the integrity of the original packaging is guaranteed. One type of securing of this type, in particular in the case of tubes made of metallic materials, is to make the dispensing opening closed, which then has to be pierced by means of a mandrel or the like, which is often integrated in the closure cap. However, there are a number of applications in which such a closure in the dispensing opening is not possible or is not desired in order to facilitate its handling when the tube is used as intended.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher die Schaffung einer Lösung, mit der eine Tubensicherung möglich gemacht wird, die die Unversehrtheit der Tube auf Anhieb, beispielsweise beim Käufer, kenntlich macht, wobei gleichzeitig gewährleistet ist, daß die Tube nach wie vor in ihrer Handhabbarkeit auch beim Verkäufer nicht leidet und bei der gleichzeitig sichergestellt ist, daß die Tubensicherung selbst leicht erzeugt werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution with which a tube safety device is made possible which immediately identifies the integrity of the tube, for example at the buyer, while at the same time ensuring that the tube is still manageable even at the seller does not suffer and at the same time it is ensured that the tube safety device itself can be easily generated.

Mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Tubensicherung aus einem den Tubenverschluß und einen Bereich des Tubenkörpers umschließenden Kartonzuschnitt gebildet ist, wobei der Kartonzuschnitt mit einem Haftkleber zur Fixierung am Tubenkörper versehen ist.With a device of the type described in the introduction, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the tube securing device comprises a tube closure which encloses an area of the tube body Cardboard blank is formed, the cardboard blank being provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive for fixing to the tube body.

Mit einem derartigen Kartonzuschnitt lassen sich in einfacher Weise die oben in der Aufgabe gestellten Anforderungen lösen. Ein Kartonzuschnitt ist leicht zu entsorgen, seine Entfernung von der Tube kennzeichnet unmittelbar die mögliche unbefugte Benutzung, ein Kartonzuschnitt läßt das Bedrucken mit Informationen zu, er kann in der Größe im wesentlichen dem Tubendurchmesser angepaßt werden und beeinflußt daher die einfache Handhabbarkeit der Tube bei dem Verkauf nicht u. dgl. mehr.With such a cardboard blank, the requirements set out in the task can be solved in a simple manner. A cardboard blank is easy to dispose of, its removal from the tube immediately indicates possible unauthorized use, a cardboard blank allows information to be printed, its size can essentially be adapted to the tube diameter and therefore influences the ease of handling of the tube when it is sold not u. Like. more.

An dieser Stelle sei bemerkt, daß es bei Verpackungen, insbesondere bei Lebensmittelgläsern mit Schraubverschlüssen, wie etwa bei Honiggläsern, aufgeklebte Schutzsiegel gibt, die beim Öffnen des Honigglases zerrissen werden. Derartige Papiersiegel sind für Tubenverschlüsse insbesondere deswegen nicht geeignet, weil sie, um intakt zu bleiben, eine glatte, feste Unterlage benötigen, auf der sie vollflächig aufgeklebt sind. Bei einem Kartonzuschnitt nach der Erfindung ist dies nicht notwendig.At this point, it should be noted that there is a protective seal stuck on packaging, particularly in food jars with screw caps, such as honey jars, which are torn when the honey jar is opened. Such paper seals are particularly unsuitable for tube closures because, in order to remain intact, they require a smooth, firm base on which they are glued over the entire surface. With a cardboard blank according to the invention, this is not necessary.

In Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der Kartonzuschnitt als geschlossene Banderole mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung für den Tubenverschluß und Bereiche des Tubenkörpers ausgebildet ist. Dieser banderolenartige Kartonzuschnitt mit Durchtrittsöffnung für den Tubenverschluß macht es zum einen möglich, ihn unmittelbar als Standhilfe für die Zurschaustellung der Tube in Regalen od. dgl. heranzuziehen, zum anderen ist ein geschlossener Kurvenzug als Banderole seitlich offen, so daß die Aufsicht auch auf den Tubenverschluß von der Seite her möglich ist.In an embodiment it is provided that the cardboard blank is designed as a closed band with a through opening for the tube closure and areas of the tube body. This band-like cardboard blank with a passage opening for the tube closure makes it possible, on the one hand, to use it directly as a stand for the display of the tube on shelves or the like.On the other hand, a closed curve as a banderole is open on the side, so that supervision is also possible on the tube closure is possible from the side.

Die Erfindung sieht auch vor, daß die der Durchtrittsöffnung zugeordneten, unmittelbar anschließenden Zuschnittsbereiche mit einer Haftkleberbeschichtung versehen sind. Der Haftkleber kann dabei erfindungsgemäß als Heißschmelzkleber ausgebildet sein, dessen Klebeeigenschaften so eingestellt sind, daß er rückstandsfrei von der Tubenoberfläche bei Abreißen der Vorrichtung entfernbar ist.The invention also provides that the immediately adjacent cut areas assigned to the passage opening are provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating. According to the invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be designed as a hot-melt adhesive, the adhesive properties of which are set so that it can be removed without residue from the tube surface when the device is torn off.

Mit diesen erfindungsgemäßen Gestaltungen ist es insbesondere möglich, das Anbringen der Vorrichtung vollautomatisch vorzunehmen. So kann eine Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine den Heißschmelzkleber auftragen und nach Zusammenfalten und Einbringen der Tube über Heizklingen die Vorrichtung am Tubenkörper über die Heißschmelzkleberbeschichtung fixieren.With these designs according to the invention, it is in particular possible to carry out the attachment of the device fully automatically. For example, a folding box gluing machine can apply the hot-melt adhesive and, after folding and inserting the tube using heating blades, fix the device to the tube body using the hot-melt adhesive coating.

Die Erfindung sieht auch vor, daß die Haftkleberbereiche mit von der Durchtrittsöffnung ausgehenden Einschnitten versehen sind. Diese Einschnitte bewirken, daß es gleichgültig ist, in welcher Position relativ zu ihrer Längsachse gesehen die Tube mit Verschluß in die Durchtrittsöffnung des Kartonzuschnittes eingesteckt wird. Durch die Einschnitte wird in jedem Fall sichergestellt, daß beim Andrücken der Klebebeschichtung an den Tubenkörper eine ausreichend große Fläche zur Aufbringung der Klebekraft am Tubenkörper erreicht wird.The invention also provides that the pressure sensitive adhesive areas are provided with incisions starting from the passage opening. These incisions have the effect that it does not matter in which position the tube with the closure is inserted into the passage opening of the cardboard blank, relative to its longitudinal axis. The cuts ensure in any case that when the adhesive coating is pressed onto the tube body, a sufficiently large area for applying the adhesive force to the tube body is achieved.

Der rationellen Fertigung und der vollautomatischen Anbringung der Vorrichtung an eine Tube dient eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, die darin besteht, daß auf einem Kartonband eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinander liegenden Vorrichtungszuschnitten mit Einschnitten, Durchstanzungen und Prägelinien sowie mit Haftkleberbeschichtungen vorgesehen sind, wobei benachbarte Zuschnitte über eine Perforationslinie voneinander trennbar sind. Damit kann der Kartonzuschnitt als Endlosband einer entsprechenden Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine zugeführt werden, das Vereinzeln sei es der bereits gefalzten und gefalteten Vorrichtungen kann durch Abstoßen oder Abknicken über eine Kante oder durch Abknicken in einem beidseitigen Transportband mit versetzten Rollen oder in vergleichbarer Weise vorgenommen werden.The rational production and the fully automatic attachment of the device to a tube is a further embodiment of the invention, which consists in that a plurality of adjacent device cuts with incisions, punchings and embossing lines and with pressure sensitive adhesive coatings are provided on a cardboard tape, with adjacent cuts via a Perforation line are separable. The cardboard blank can thus be fed as an endless belt to a corresponding folding box gluing machine; the separation, be it of the already folded and folded devices, can be carried out by pushing or kinking over an edge or by kinking in a double-sided conveyor belt with offset rollers or in a comparable manner.

Wie bereits weiter oben angegeben, stellt die Vorrichtung zusätzliche Werbeflächen zur Verfügung, so daß vorgesehen ist, daß der Kartonzuschnitt wenigstens auf seiner nach außen weisenden Fläche mit einer bedruckbaren Kartondecke versehen ist.As already stated above, the device provides additional advertising space, so that it is provided that the cardboard blank is provided with a printable cardboard cover at least on its outward-facing surface.

Die in den Figuren allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Vorrichtung dient zur Sicherung des Verschlusses 2 einer Tube 3, wobei in Fig. 2 eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Tuben 3 dargestellt ist. Die Vorrichtung 1 wird von einem Kartonzuschnitt gebildet, der in Aufsicht in Fig. 4 näher dargestellt ist und allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1a bezeichnet ist.The device, generally designated 1 in the figures, serves to secure the closure 2 of a tube 3, a plurality of tubes 3 arranged side by side being shown in FIG. 2. The device 1 is formed from a cardboard blank, which is shown in more detail in the top view in FIG. 4 and is generally designated by the reference number 1a.

Der Kartonzuschnitt 1a weist mehrere, über Rillungen 4 voneinander getrennte Bereiche auf, nämlich eine Seitenfläche 5, eine Kopffläche 6 mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung 7, eine weitere Seitenfläche 5a, die der Seitenfläche 5 im Gebrauchszustand gegenüberliegt, eine Bodenfläche 7a sowie eine Klebelasche 8, die in der Gebrauchslage mit der Innenseite der Seitenfläche 5 verklebt wird. Werden eine Mehrzahl von Vorrichtungszuschnitten von einem Band gestanzt, so sind benachbarte Zuschnitte 1a über Perforationslinien 9 voneinander getrennt, wie dies in den Fig. 2 und 4 angedeutet ist.The cardboard blank 1a has a plurality of areas separated from one another by means of grooves 4, namely a side surface 5, a head surface 6 with a passage opening 7, a further side surface 5a which lies opposite the side surface 5 in the state of use, a base surface 7a and an adhesive flap 8 which in FIG the position of use is glued to the inside of the side surface 5. If a plurality of device blanks are punched from a band, adjacent blanks 1a are separated from one another via perforation lines 9, as is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 4.

An ihren der Kopff läche 6 mit Durchtrittsöffnungen zugewandten Bereichen sind die Seitenflächen 5 und 5a mit einem Haftkleber 10 beschichtet, wobei neben der dargestellten flächigen Beschichtung auch eine Punktbeschichtung oder eine Linienbeschichtung vorgesehen sein kann, wobei die Dichte der Punkte bzw. der Linien so gewählt ist, daß später eine ausreichend große Klebefläche für die Tubenoberfläche zur Verfügung steht.The side surfaces 5 and 5a are coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive 10 on their areas facing the head surface 6 with through-openings, wherein in addition to the flat coating shown, a dot coating or a line coating can also be provided, the density of the dots or the lines being chosen in this way that later a sufficiently large adhesive surface for the tube surface is available.

Zusätzlich sind in die Seitenflächen 5 bzw. 5a von der Durchtrittsöffnung 7 ausgehend Schnitte 11 eingebracht, um nicht an eine bestimmte Einbaulage des Tubenkörpers gebunden zu sein.In addition, cuts 11 are made in the side surfaces 5 and 5a starting from the passage opening 7 so as not to be tied to a specific installation position of the tube body.

Die Herstellungs-, Anbringungs- und Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist dabei die folgende:
Zunächst wird in einem über ein Endlosband einer Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine eine Vielzahl von Zuschnitten 1a gemäß Fig. 4 zugeführt, wobei vor der Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine eine Hot-Melt-Kleberschicht 10 beidseitig der Durchtrittsöffnung 7 aufgebracht wird. Die Zuschnitte 1a sind mit den entsprechenden Rillungen 4 den Einschnitten 11 und den Perforationen 9 versehen. Nunmehr wird der Zuschnitt in die Fig. 3 wiedergebende Form gefalzt und die Klebelasche 8 auf die Innenseite der Seitenfläche 5 geklebt, wobei dieser Klebstoff in Art und Qualität von der Hot-Melt-Klebebeschichtung 10 abweichen kann. Werden die vorgefalzten Vorrichtungen im Endlosband erzeugt, können über entsprechende Trennmittel die Perforationen aufgebrochen werden, dies kann vor Einbringung der Tuben 3 oder auch später erfolgen.
The device is manufactured, attached and works as follows:
First of all, a multiplicity of blanks 1a according to FIG. 4 are fed into a folding box gluing machine via an endless belt, a hot melt adhesive layer 10 being applied on both sides of the passage opening 7 in front of the folding box gluing machine. The blanks 1a are provided with the corresponding grooves 4, the incisions 11 and the perforations 9. Now the blank is folded into the form shown in FIG. 3 and the adhesive flap 8 is glued to the inside of the side surface 5, whereby this type and quality of this adhesive may differ from the hot-melt adhesive coating 10. If the pre-folded devices are produced in the endless belt, the perforations can be broken up by means of appropriate separating means; this can be done before the tubes 3 are introduced or else later.

Nach Einbringen der Tubenverschlüsse 2 stehen die Tuben 3 so in der Vorrichtung 1, daß Seitenflächen der Tube, in Fig. 1 mit 3a bezeichnet, in dem Bereich positioniert sind, in dem sich die Klebebeschichtung 10 befindet. Durch heiße Klingen oder ähnliche Werkzeuge können dann die Seitenflächen 5 und 5a mit ihren inneren Klebebeschichtungen auf die Tube 3 derart gedrückt werden, daß Bereiche der Tube 3a mit dem Kleber in Berühung kommen und die Vorrichtung 1 dort fixieren. Die Einschnitte 11 ermöglichen es, auch bei Schieflage der Tuben noch genügend große Andruckflächen und Klebeflächen zur Verfügung zu stellen.After the tube closures 2 have been introduced, the tubes 3 stand in the device 1 such that side surfaces of the tube, designated 3a in FIG. 1, are positioned in the region in which the adhesive coating 10 is located. Hot blades or similar tools can then be used to press the side surfaces 5 and 5a with their inner adhesive coatings onto the tube 3 in such a way that regions of the tube 3a come into contact with the adhesive and fix the device 1 there. The incisions 11 make it possible to provide sufficiently large contact surfaces and adhesive surfaces even when the tubes are skewed.

Die Kartonqualität der Vorrichtung ist dabei so gewählt, daß bei Entfernen der Vorrichtung 1 von der Tube 3 der Karton insgesamt entfernbar ist einschließlich der Klebebeschichtung, so daß eine klebstofffreie Tube dem Verbraucher zur Verfügung steht. Ohne daß es hier darauf ankäme, ist es zweckmäßig, die Oberfläche der Tube so zu gestalten, daß zwar eine ausreichend hohe Haftwirkung zwischen Schmelzkleberbeschichtung bzw. Haftkleberbeschichtung einerseits und Tubenoberfläche andererseits erzeugt wird, daß die Vorrichtung 1 problemlos dort verbleibt, wo sie bestimmungsgemäß sein muß, andererseits aber eine Abnahme der Vorrichtung vom Verbraucher rückstandsfrei möglich ist.The carton quality of the device is chosen so that when the device 1 is removed from the tube 3, the carton as a whole can be removed, including the adhesive coating, so that an adhesive-free tube is available to the consumer. Without it being important here, it is expedient to design the surface of the tube in such a way that a sufficiently high adhesive effect between the hot-melt adhesive coating or Pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on the one hand and tube surface on the other hand is generated so that the device 1 easily remains where it must be, but on the other hand a removal of the device by the consumer is possible without residue.

Erkennbar kann die Außenoberfläche der Vorrichtung bedruckt werden, mit Etiketten versehen werden, etwa mit einem Leporello-Etikett od. dgl.As can be seen, the outer surface of the device can be printed, provided with labels, for example with a leporello label or the like.

Natürlich sind die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung noch in vielfacher Hinsicht abzuändern, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So können beispielsweise die durch die Schnitte 11 entstehenden Laschen 12 beim Ausstanzen der Durchtrittsöffnung 7 nach innen verlängert und in der Gebrauchslage nach oben aufgefalzt sein, diese Laschenbereiche können beispielsweise mit einem Klebstoffpunkt versehen sein, um in der Gebrauchslage einen nach oben am Tubenkörper anliegenden zusätzlichen Klebebereich zu erreichen, diese Möglichkeit ist in Fig. 4 rechts außen und in Fig. 2 links außen angedeutet.Of course, the described exemplary embodiments of the invention can be modified in many ways without departing from the basic idea. For example, the tabs 12 created by the cuts 11 can be extended inwards when punching through the passage opening 7 and folded up in the position of use, these tab areas can be provided with an adhesive point, for example, in order to provide an additional adhesive area in the position of use lying against the tube body to achieve this possibility is indicated in Fig. 4 on the right outside and in Fig. 2 on the left outside.
