Patent number: 11059638Abstract: A container has an at least partially filled container body and at least one cap part (10). The cap part has at least one sealing part (16) that, for removal of the container contents, can be penetrated by a hollow-spike-shaped insertion part (22) from the outside, with a predeterminable actuating force, in an introduction direction. The insertion part can be removed from the container again, with a predeterminable pull-out force, in an oppositely directed pull-out direction. A device (16, 18) makes it difficult for the insertion part (22) to be removed with the pull-out force being increased such that unintentional removal of the insertion part (22) is at least made difficult.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Philipp Spreng

Patent number: 11046474Abstract: A container has a head piece (7). The container can be or is filled with a medium and is produced of plastic materials using a blow molding, filling, and sealing method. A transition region (13) is between the container (1) and a first type of a head surface (11) arranged on the head piece (7) at an end face, can be penetrated by a piercing or cutting part and extends with a specifiable curvature. A second type of a head surface (41) has a specifiable curvature, which is the same as the curvature of the head surface (39) of the first type, but preferably is different from it and is present on the head piece (7). The head surfaces transition into each other such that a whole surface is formed, which whole surface spans the free end of the transition region (13) directed away from the container (1). The head piece (7) is an integral component of the container (1).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTICK MASCHINEBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Karl Koeppel, Alexander Hammer

Patent number: 10238813Abstract: A dispensing device includes a container with a receiving space containing a dispensable medium extractable via a dispensing element. A control body (19) with a connecting body (11) is longitudinally displaceable in a housing part (9), from an inactive base position to an active extraction position by a rotational movement. A media-carrying connection is created between the receiving space and the dispensing element. A control part of the control body (19) can be attached to a control path (54) of the connecting body (11). When the control body (19) moves rotationally relative to the housing part (9), each control part follows the rotational movement in an axially unchanged manner and brings the connecting body from the base position to an extraction position via each associable control path (54) of the connecting body (11). The control path comprises a slope.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Alexander Hammer, Alexander Beier, Alexander Muff
