Abstract
A dispensing container for flowable product in a basic polyhedronorm having at least an edge, or as a three-part can including a container sidewall, a container bottom and a container cover. The container includes, in its interior, a discharging device for dispensing portions of product. The dispensing container can be sealingly closed.
Claims27
A dispensing container for a flowable product made up as a selling package, comprising:
- container sidewalls, a container bottom connected to said sidewalls, a container cover and discharging means for dispensing portions of the product,
- the discharging means forming a shaft that extends from a dispensing opening to said container bottom and includes a metering opening at the container bottom arranged at a rim of the container bottom, such that, when the dispensing container is held obliquely, a portion of the product is fed into the metering opening, and when tipping the dispensing container, this portion is discharged through the shaft and the dispensing opening,
- wherein said container sidewalls provide a basic shape of a quadrilateral polyhedron having one edge formed by a pair of said sidewalls that form sliding surfaces for the product to said edge,
- wherein the discharging means is arranged in the angular region of this edge, and
- wherein the dispensing container includes means for sealingly closing the container.
2 more elements
A container basic body comprising:
- container sidewalls and a container bottom that are injection-molded integrally in one piece, thus forming a container bottom surface and a container opening that can be closed by a container cover,
- said container sidewalls comprising guiding wall portions extending from near said container bottom to said container opening and being provided with undercut portions for holding an insertable discharging device,
- said container opening having a larger area than said container bottom area and said container sidewall tapering to said container bottom for making said container basic body fit for stacking with other basic bodies.
A dispensing container in the form of a can for flowable product comprising:
- a container sidewall, a circular container bottom connected to said sidewall, a circular container cover and discharging means for dispensing portions of the product,
- wherein said discharging means form a shaft that extends from a dispensing opening to said container bottom and includes a metering opening at said container bottom arranged at a rim of the container bottom such that, when the dispensing container is held obliquely, a portion of the product is fed into the metering opening, and when tipping the dispensing container, this portion is discharged through said shaft and said dispensing opening,
- wherein said container sidewall comprises coated sheet material, paste board or multilayer material and is formed to a round cylindrical body having a first and a second peripheral rims,
- wherein said container bottom comprises coated sheet material or paste board and is attached at said first rim of said container sidewall,
- wherein said container cover comprises a breakable aluminum foil or sheet that is attached at said second rim of said container sidewall, and a further plastic cover member that can be stuck onto said second rim of said body, and
- wherein said discharging means is a separate member fixed onto said aluminum foil or sheet.
3 more elements
A dispensing container for a flowable product made up as a box, comprising:
- a blank of flat or sheet material that includes wall sections for forming container sidewalls, a container bottom and a container cover, a discharging device that forms a shaft between a dispensing opening near said container cover and a metering opening near said container bottom,
- wherein a pair of wall sections of the container sidewalls that are connected with a folding line, are bridged by a flat material stripe having longitudinal rims that are fixed onto said pair of wall sections, and
- wherein said shaft is formed by folding up of said flat material stripe when folding the box about said folding line.
A dispensing container for a flowable product comprising:
- means forming a container sidewall, a container bottom, a container cover and discharging means for dispensing portions of the product,
- wherein said discharging means forms a shaft that extends from a dispensing opening to said container bottom and includes a metering opening at said container bottom arranged at a rim of said container bottom such that, when the dispensing container is held obliquely, a portion of the product is fed into said metering opening, and when tipping the dispensing container, this portion is discharged through said shaft and said dispensing opening,
- wherein said container sidewall, said container bottom, said container cover and said discharging means comprise one of coated sheet material, paste board, multilayer material or plastics,
- wherein said container sidewall is formed to a cylindrical body having a first and a second peripheral rims, said container bottom being attached at said first rim of said container sidewall,
- wherein a breakable cover sheet is attached to said second rim of said a container sidewall,
- wherein said shaft of said discharging means is fixed to said breakable cover sheet encircling said dispensing opening, and
- wherein said container cover is formed to grip said second rim of said cylindrical body.
