Patent number: 11299314Abstract: Provided is a package sleeve made of a composite material for the manufacture of a package, including: a front surface, a rear surface, two side surfaces, base surfaces and gable surfaces which are arranged on opposite sides of the two side surfaces, the front surface and the rear surface, and a longitudinal seam which connects two edges of the composite material to form a package sleeve. The package sleeve has several fold lines. The two side surfaces have a secondary fold line running therethrough. The package sleeve is folded along both secondary fold lines. The package sleeve is open both in the region of the base surfaces and in the region of the gable surfaces. Also provided are a package and a method for manufacturing a package.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: SIG Technology AGInventors: Matthias Dammers, Birgit Birninger, Christoph Mehler, Thomas Vetten

Patent number: 10850887Abstract: A carton sleeve of a composite material for producing a carton is illustrated and described, including: a sleeve area, a longitudinal seam that joins two edges of the composite material to form an all-round carton sleeve, and two pseudo fold lines that pass through the sleeve area, wherein the carton sleeve is folded along both pseudo fold lines. In order to allow the production of cartons with a more complex geometry, it is envisaged that the carton sleeve in the region of the sleeve area has no further or no continuous fold lines apart from the two pseudo fold lines. In addition a carton of such a carton sleeve as well as a method for producing a carton from such a carton sleeve are illustrated and described.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: SIG TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Matthias Dammers, Birgit Birninger, Christoph Mehler, Thomas Vetten

Publication number: 20190337664Abstract: Provided is a package sleeve made of a composite material for the manufacture of a package. The package sleeve includes a sleeve surface with an inner partial area and two outer partial areas, a longitudinal seam connecting two edges of the composite material to form a circumferential package sleeve, and two secondary fold lines running through the sleeve surface. The package sleeve is folded along two secondary fold lines. Apart from the two secondary fold lines, the package sleeve does not contain any further continuous fold lines in the region of the inner partial area of the sleeve surface. Also provided are a package and a method for manufacturing a package.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2017Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Matthias Dammers, Birgit Birninger, Christoph Mehler, Thomas Vetten

Publication number: 20190055045Abstract: A device for shaping closed packages is depicted and described, including: a base plate for supporting the bottom or the gable of the packages, at least two support elements for supporting the side surfaces or the front surface and the rear surface of the packages and at least two sliding elements for shaping the side surfaces or the front surface and the rear surface of the packages wherein the support elements and the sliding elements include at least one shaped surface on their side assigned to the package. In order to also enable a precise shaping of the packages even in the case of closed packages with complex geometry, it is proposed for at least one of the shaped surfaces to be curved at least in sections. A method for shaping closed packages is also depicted and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2017Publication date: February 21, 2019Applicant: SIG Technology AGInventors: Felix Breitmar, Birgit Birninger, Matthias Dammers, Johannes Marx, Christoph Mehler, Thomas Vetten

Publication number: 20090001624Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for performing the clamping force relaxation in a clamping unit of an injection molding machine. During set-up of the injection molding process, one or more real pressure curves of the mold cavity pressure during the cooling phase are determined and a set-point curve is derived therefrom, which is stored in the machine control unit. In dependence upon the product properties and material properties the seal point is established on the pressure curve. Furthermore, the relaxation speed of the clamping pressure of the clamping unit is determined and it is specified, in dependence upon the seal point and relaxation speed, at which pressure on the reference curve the clamping force relaxation is started. During the cyclic operation of the injection molding machine the actual pressure during the cooling phase is determined and the pressure force increase is performed when the actual pressure has reached the set-point pressure that was specified during set-up.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Demag Ergotech GmbHInventor: Christoph MEHLER

Patent number: 6845902Abstract: Proposed for a square flat gable composite packing are a resealable spout element (1) and the manufacture of a flat gable composite packing with such a spout element (1) that eliminate the disadvantage of known spout elements, namely that such packings can no longer be opened once the sealed-on opening aids for initially opening the packing lose their non-positive bond with the packing during transport or as the result of inadequate proposed, with a cap (2), in which an opening element (4) sealing. A resealable spout element (1) is attached to the packing interior can be bonded with the cap (2) to form an undetachable unit by means of a connecting element (5) that penetrates an opening surface present in the packing.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: SIG Combibloc Systems GmbHInventors: Hans Bömer, Matthias Dammers, Christoph Mehler, Hans Weiteder

Patent number: 6216945Abstract: A pouring element for attachment to a package containing flowable material, and having a pouring opening covered with a perforated or otherwise weakened material. The pouring element of the present invention allows for the opening of the package without contamination of the contents therein. In one embodiment of the pouring element, there exists an opening means that has an attached support element and which is hinged to a base plate portion of the pouring element. In conjunction with movement of a lid portion, the support element and opening means act to penetrate a tearable material covering a pouring opening of the package, thereby allowing the contents thereof to be dispensed. In another embodiment, the opening means may be a portion of the support element and may be affixed to the lid. After initial opening of the lid, the support element may position itself such that closing of the lid will cause penetration of the tearable material layer by the opening means, and thus the opening of the package.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: SIG Combibloc GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Mario Gabrielli, Christoph Mehler, Matthias Dammers, Michael Noppeney
