  • Patent number: 11597643
    Abstract: A container whose content can be removed easily by a consumer. The container should be inexpensive to produce while being extremely easy to operate by the consumer, should provide a high degree of flexibility with respect to the choice of the propellant gas (pressure and type of gas) and should achieve a long storage life for the contents, even after the container has been tapped. The container comprises a fill chamber (40), a pressure chamber (6) and a pressure valve (10). The fill chamber (40) is formed by a container base (2), a container wall (7) and a container upper face (8), and a first pressure (pB) prevails in the fill chamber (40). The pressure chamber (6) is formed by the container base (2) and a pressure chamber base (5) and a second pressure (pD) prevails in the pressure chamber (6). The pressure valve (10) is connected to the container base (2) and the pressure chamber base (5).

  • Patent number: 11590554
    Abstract: The present invention aims at closing a receptacle (1) provided with an opening (2) as tightly as possible while keeping low the amount of material required for a closure (3) used for this purpose. To this end, a tool (10) is suggested that closes the opening (2) of the receptacle (1) by means of the closure (3). The tool (10) comprises a tool plate (12) configured such that it is adapted to be introduced into the opening (2) of the receptacle (1). The tool further comprises at least one roll (11) that is arranged on the tool plate (12). The at least one roll (11) is adapted to be deflected radially outwards from a starting position into a closing position and returns to its starting position, so that a radial force can be caused to act on a closure rim (4) of the closure (3) for a limited period of time, the closure rim (4) being arranged between the at least one roll (11) and the receptacle inner side (5).

  • Patent number: 11572205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging technology. One or a plurality of membranes is to be sealingly attached to an inner surface of a container making use of a small number of working steps. For this purpose, a tool comprising a force transmission unit (10), a deflection unit (20) and a positioning element (30) is suggested. The force transmission unit (10) is coupled to the deflection unit (20) and the positioning element (30), so that a force can be transmitted from the force transmission unit (10) to the deflection unit (20) and/or the positioning element (30). At least a portion of the deflection unit (20) is deflectable with a radial component. The positioning element (30) is adapted to allow a flow of gas therethrough, so as to pick up and hold the membrane (33).

  • Publication number: 20200239205
    Abstract: Container having support for a membrane (30) which is sealed (by sealing means or adhesive bonding) onto the inner side (41) of the container wall (40) of the container, particularly while the container is being filled with contents or by virtue of a positive pressure being introduced. The intention is to relieve the sealing of the membrane of loading, wherein the action of force during the filling operation from beneath is advantageous or easily withstandable. For this purpose, the container is provided with the container wall (40), a container opening (2), a lid (10), the membrane (30) and a supporting structure (20). The lid (10) closes the container opening (2). A portion of a membrane collar (31) of the membrane (30) is fastened on a portion of the inner side (41) of the container wall (40), a fastening region (33) therefore being formed. The supporting structure (20) has a supporting portion (21) and a carrying portion (22).

  • Publication number: 20150114923
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cover unit (10) for closing and sealing a container (1). The opening (9) is surrounded by a sealing edge (8). The cover unit has an adapter (11), a cover (12), and a sealing film (13). The adapter can be arranged on the container in the opening thereof or around said opening so as to leave the sealing edge exposed, and the adapter has a through-opening (22). The cover is removably arranged on the adapter. The sealing film is clamped between the cover and the adapter so as to cover the through-opening. The invention also relates to a container with such a cover unit and to a method for sealingly closing a container.
