Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of improved, disposable container that can shrink gradually.The invention particularly relates to a kind of this type of container, the improvements of this kind container are the mode of shrinking, and its purpose is to make contraction easier and steady, and this stability in the shape that part is shunk or shunk fully of container is also increased.
Background technology
Well known in the prior art is the variable volume container, and especially the variable volume bottle is to be formed by the column container with circle or polygon transversal surface, and these walls of a container are made up of ripple struction, and when container was filled, this structure was in expansion shape.When the content in the bottle is used up, can change the internal capacity of container by folding ripple struction gradually (following this operation is abbreviated as " bottle contractions "), adapting to the minimizing of content, and make the volume of air maintenance of container top minimum.
Because external volume also natural correspondingly being reduced in contraction process of container, above-described collapsible container also has the advantage that takies the storage area with its content pro rata.Finally, when content is used up and during folding the finishing of ripple struction, container just reaches its minimum volume fully, and after this container can directly be thrown away to and reclaimed in the rubbish.That is to say, do not need to resemble usually for traditional empty receptacle and carry out any further squeeze operation to reduce their volume desired.
The container of this type is particularly suitable for adorning perishable goods, for example food, particularly beverage.These amount of airs above product are remained on the level of a small size, in fact can reduce the oxidation rate of product, and therefore make their organoleptic properties can the holding time longer.
With the same applicant's of the application European patent EP 1150889 in a kind of like this container is disclosed, it is different with the container of previously known, it has very stable collapsed shape.Itself need not experience the process of any recovery original form this container, even adorns liquid or maintenance when it in for example toppling in the bottle and the bottle of aerated liquid is housed closes when being subjected to external force in such operation, also can not return to the original form.
Summary of the invention
Since having submitted above-mentioned patent application to, the present inventor just proceeds research and experiment for the container that further improves their invention, its improved main purpose is to make the contraction process of container more steady and effective, and makes the shape after the contraction more stable.
The present invention forms on the basis of such research and experiment, and relates to a kind of disposable, container that can shrink gradually.In such container, has ripple struction to the small part container side wall, this structure comprises a plurality of adjacent flangings, and each flanging is formed by the surface of two relative different in width, and wherein the surface of the less width of surface ratio of big width has bigger hardness.
According to an important characteristic of the present invention, the raising of hardness realizes that by the shape that changes bigger surface the formation purpose of the shape on bigger surface is to constitute the outwards outstanding strengthening rib of container.
In any case other features and advantages of the present invention will embody more obviously in following explanation to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and these preferably are implemented in and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Fig. 6 is the height amplification profile of the bottle sidewall when collapsed shape among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 (or being inverted for Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
The specific embodiment
According to principal character of the present invention, in order to obtain the steady contraction of bottle, the big superficial hardness of each flanging of container corrugated sidewalls is greater than less surface, and wherein big surface is relative with less surface, and less surface upwards folds in contraction process in the big surface.This terms of settlement and prior art are completely different, in the prior art, in fact normally continuous plane or the appropriateness in two surfaces that forms each flanging of ripple overarches, therefore, the hardness on the less surface of hardness ratio on big surface is little, the hardness on described two surfaces obviously and their width be inversely proportional to.
Because these characteristics on big surface in all bellows folds, just, the hardness on the corresponding less surface of hardness ratio on big surface is big, when the customer puts on bottle neck or cap with squeese pressure, the big surface of described ripple keeps its original shape constant substantially during shrinking, and therefore can move in the pulsation-free mode to be inserted in than on the less surface between the large tracts of land.Therefore, described have the corresponding respectively inner edges in less surface of less hardness and the external force that outward flange is subjected to acting in the opposite direction, and these outward flanges and inward flange are evenly distributed on the circumference of whole bottle, so that the contraction process on described surface takes place with very steady and synchronous form, thereby deviation of locating or the phenomenon that makes the bottle ovalization have been avoided, and when two surfaces of ripple with respect to the hardness standard that the present invention limited during for opposite hardness standard, above-mentioned phenomenon can take place easily, and this phenomenon is to have taken place veritably in the prior art.
Fig. 1 to 4 has represented the bottle by instruction manufacturing of the present invention.This bottle 1 comprises corrugated sidewalls 2, has the top portion 3 of neck 4, and a bottom branch 5, and its middle cover is tightened onto on the neck 4.Corrugated sidewalls 2 is made up of the waved elements 6 of some at least in part, and this waved elements 6 abbreviates " flanging " in this manual as, and each folding is made of two facing surfaces, says so exactly to be made of for 7 and one less surperficial 8 big surface.
In bottle shown in Figure 1, the big surface 7 of backfin 6 is in the top, and less surperficial 8 be in the below, thus the contraction process of bottle (among Fig. 2) " downwards " generation.The sidewall of design-calculated bottle 1 is called as " ripple downwards " like this.On the contrary, the ripple of bottle shown in Figure 3 makes progress, the generation thereby the contraction process of backfin (among Fig. 4) " makes progress ".The design-calculated bottle side-wall is called as " upwards ripple " like this.These two kinds designs are equal to certainly fully, thus will be not in the detailed description below can the time both of these case distinguish.
In optimum embodiment of the present invention, the highest hardness size on the big surface of each ripple backfin obtains by shape hardness.This means that two surfaces 7 and 8 that form each ripple are made by same material, have essentially identical thickness, and surface 7 obtains bigger hardness, because this surface is formed with one and protrudes in the exterior strengthening rib of bottle.
The optimum embodiment on the big surface 7 of each ripple is shown in Figure 5, and this figure amplifies the size height and shows with the part of profile type with the sidewall 2 of collapsible bottle 1 of the present invention.In the figure, the structure of each backfin 6 is seen clearlyer, and each backfin is to be made of for 7 and one less surperficial 8 big surface.This big surface 7 is not plane of the prior art or arch (shown in the discontinuous line AD of part), but comprise one from the outwards outstanding big ladder rib 9 of bottle surface, therefore in section-drawing, surface 7 is represented by a fillet dotted line ABCD, this dotted line comprises a ladder part A BC and a straight line portion C D thereafter, and this straight line CD aligns with a directrix AD.
Record the maximum height h of ladder rib 9 corresponding to directrix AD at the ancon B of described rib, this highly preferably occupies total size on surface 7, the just 20-50% of the length of line segment AD.The length that the described staircase areas of measuring along directrix AD 9 is extended occupy BE length 60% to 80% between.
Less surperficial 8 of backfin 6 be designed to smooth or, more excellent, be designed to the arch that requires as EP1150889, as can be seen from Figure 5 (DE part), it has the convex curvature towards big surface 7, and should less surperficial 8 towards 7 contractions of big surface.Surface 7 and 8 links together by being positioned at the rounded edges that D orders each other, and this becomes the pivotal point of waved elements 6 when bottle is retracted.
According to supplementary features of the present invention, backfin 6 has the annular section 10 of a shell-like profile in its bottom, and this zone is separated from each other each backfin 6.Same this annular section 10 has so shape owing in fact will make bottle have this function of bigger lateral stiffness, and purpose is the contraction of auxiliary bottle 1, and makes bottle more stable when collapsed shape.
That in fact the ring-type reinforced region of known type can simply comprise is one vertical, near the wall of vertical or arch, this wall direct connection is on the surface of two adjacent backfins.On the contrary, according to the present invention, can be clear that in section-drawing 5 that each annular section comprises vertical, an approaching vertical or arcuate walls FG, this wall links to each other with the surface of adjacent flanging ED and AB with AG by level or near horizontal wall EF.And the direction of these connecting walls and/or curvature form corner area according to the respective surfaces of its adjacent folds
With
Bending direction opposite with their bending directions when the bottle collapsed shape.
When shrinking, since the instability of intermediateness, corner area
With
The sudden change and, move to the highly stable end balance position shown in Fig. 6 by the initial rest position shown in Fig. 5.Except helping contractive action, from these two equilibrium configurations one is stable shaped also to have made positive contribution to the high stability of bottle collapsed shape to another stable shaped sudden change.
In the process that from the original shape to the collapsed shape, changes, the side 7 and 8 of backfin 6, perhaps more precisely, the circle corner area
With
Experienced an of short duration distortion, its curvature is separately brought up to more with respect to the initial and done state in this zone.This is the radial width owing to flanging 6, and just the distance on the geometry of peak portion wherein and bottom keeps constant substantially, therefore round corner area above-mentioned in the bottle contraction process
With
Width when backfin is retracted, must correspondingly dwindle.
Side 7 and 8 distortion have determined the asymmetric of circumference, that is to say, such distortion is different because of the position of the generation on circumference, and this may determine steadily not shrinking of backfin 6 successively, and ovalization or vertical deflection take place.According to another characteristic of the invention, can avoid this problem,, particularly, be provided with several small openings symmetrically along circumference corresponding to the D of peak portion of described backfin corresponding to the join domain between two sides of backfin 6.For example, can be provided with crack mouthful that is 8 hemispheric micro groove shapes symmetrically every 45 ° along the circumference of bottle.These crack mouthful effects are, produce different beans-and bullets shooters during pressure distribution in contraction process, thereby make the side distortion of backfin be a kind of wave-like form, and be provided with symmetrically according to crack mouth above-mentioned.So, the contraction process of bottle will be more steady, and can avoid ovalization or vertical deflection.
The present invention has obtained explanation with reference to its optimum embodiment; but clearly; protection scope of the present invention is not subjected to the restriction of these embodiment, but has comprised all possible variation that those skilled in the art can implement, and have to these variations be included in the specific definition of appending claims.
