Patent number: 6722104Abstract: The method for forming a container that comprises the following stages: the forming of the sidewall blank from a blank by wrapping it in a form that is closed in its horizontal section and by seaming its opposite edges together; the sealing of the sidewall blank at one end with a lid member, which is equipped with a discharge hole; the sealing of the sidewall blank at the other end with a bottom member; and the filling of the container. At first the lid member, the discharge hole of which is completely sealed with an openable closing member, is inserted into the end of the sidewall blank. Thereafter the container is filled through the end of the sidewall blank that was left open, and the container is sealed to form a tight container by sealing the end that was left open with the bottom member.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2000Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: UPM-Kymmene CorporationInventors: Jaako Häggman, Ensio Mykkänen, Hannu Aaltonen

Patent number: 6363695Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for use in connection with closing a liquid packaging container, the said container comprising a cylindrical or truncated cone-like casing part (1) and end members (2,3) connected to it, of which at least one (3) is formed of fiber-based, such as board-based material, for example, liquid packaging board, and comprises a skirt (15) folded in the direction of the casing part, by which skirt the end member is connected to the casing (1), in which method the container, which is finished at least with respect to its casing part (1) and the said one end member, is filled with a liquid (4) and the container is closed. According to the invention, the surface of one end member (3) which is on the outside of the container is moistened before the container is closed, thus reducing its rigidity to such an extent that the end member can be used in a bellows-like manner for controlling the pressure inside the container.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: UPM-Kymmene CorporationInventor: Ensio Mykkänen

Patent number: 6076750Abstract: A device for filling containers, particularly packaging containers such as cardboard packaging containers, on the packaging container, comprises a feed part and a closing part. To prevent the dripping of the substance distributed into the packaging container on the area around the fill opening the feed part is equipped with outlets which form an angle with the center axis of the feed part so that the upper ends of the outlets separate from each other. In the lower end of the feed part, the angle position of the outlets causes the liquid flows from different outlets to unit into one flow of liquid which, if necessary, can be fed into a container even through a small fill opening.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1998Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Assignee: UPM-Kymmene OyjInventors: Ensio Mykkanen, Pertti Kleemola

Patent number: 5288010Abstract: A package comprising a substantially cylindrical body part consisting mainly of cardboard and having reversely folded end portions at both ends of the body part. Substantially round closing parts consisting mainly of cardboard are provided at both ends of the body part. Each of the closing parts has an edge portion turned substantially perpendicular to the plane of the closing part and attached to the respective end of the body part by passing it within the end of the body part. The edge portion of each closing part underlies a reversely folded end portion of the body part. A closing ring comprises a bead inserted between each end portion of the body part and the adjacent closing part. The bead has, on the side of the closing part, a convexly rounded surface mating with a concavely curved surface of the adjacent closing part.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1991Date of Patent: February 22, 1994Assignee: Yhtyneet Paperitehtaat OyInventors: Pertti Kleemola, Ensio Mykkanen
