  • Patent number: 10562691
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container and to the use thereof. The container has a chamber with a base for receiving a mixture component and an adapter for fixing the chamber to a second container. The adapter is connected to the chamber via a first connector and has a second connector to connect to the second container. Additionally, the adapter forms a flow channel for the mixture component extending between the first and the second connector. The adapter also has a blade element in the flow channel comprising a blade facing the base of the chamber in order to open the base. The first connector allows the chamber to rotate relative to the adapter and to the blade, said blade designed to cut through the base of the chamber along the edge of the base while the chamber rotates.

  • Publication number: 20200016842
    Abstract: A method for creating a connection between components of different plastics. A first section can consist of a first plastic whose main constituent is polarised plastic, and a second section can consist of a second plastic whose main constituent is non-polar plastic. The method includes creating the connection between the first section and the second section with help of beamed-in laser energy; subjecting the first section to incident laser energy, the first section being at least partly transparent with regard to the incident laser energy; and absorbing beamed-in laser energy at least partly in a joining region, in which the first and the second sections bear on one another in an overlapping manner amid action of force, to create a positive, unreleasable connection between the two components.

  • Patent number: 10518923
    Abstract: A stretch-blow molded plastic container includes a container body. A container neck, adjoins the container body via a shoulder region and has a container opening. The container body and the container neck are mutually separated by a support ring, which substantially radially protrudes, runs circumferentially in at least some regions and which has a support ring underside. The shoulder region has a first shoulder section, which runs in immediate proximity to the support ring underside, and a second shoulder support, which is integrally connected to the first shoulder support and which substantially radially adjoins the support ring. In a stretch-blow molding method a support ring of a preform, which is placed into a mold cavity of a blow molding tool, is overblown during radial and axial stretching of the preform.

  • Patent number: 10493683
    Abstract: A stretch blow molding process for producing a plastic container from a preform, having an elongated, tubular preform body, extending along a center axis. The first end of the preform body is closed by a preform bottom and the second end is adjoined by a neck part with a pouring opening. A wall, bounds an interior space of the preform. The preform body is heated and introduced into a cavity of a blow mold. A stretching mandrel enters the preform until the stretching mandrel tip reaches the preform bottom. The preform body and the preform bottom are stretched by the stretching mandrel. The preform body and the preform bottom are deformed by introducing a fluid into the preform under pressure. The stretching mandrel makes contact with the inner side of the wall in the region of the preform body.

  • Patent number: 10464725
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container closure made of plastic, comprising a lower closure part, which can be fastened to an opening of a container. Of the invention, the lower closure part has a collar, which can be inserted into the opening of the container. The at least one locking projection can be moved in the direction of a center axis of the lower closure part in a reversible elastic manner in relation to the collar. The at least one locking projection is designed in such a way that, when the at least one locking projection and an undercut shaped in the opening engage with each other, the at least one locking projection and said undercut form a lock that cannot be detached in the direction of the center axis. The collar has at least one through-hole, and the locking projection can be displaced through the through-hole.
