  • Publication number: 20090029897
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing a detergent or cleaning agent dosing unit, comprising the following steps: a) providing a detergent or cleaning agent shaped body in the form of an annular tablet having a cavity with at least two opening faces; b) sealing one opening face of the cavity with a prefabricated, filled and closed water-soluble container by linking the prefabricated sachet with the detergent or cleaning agent shaped body; c) filling the cavity with a composition that has a detergent or cleaning action. The inventive methods allow to jointly produce solid and liquid or flowable detergent or cleaning agent compositions in separate areas of a compact dosing unit.

  • Patent number: 7469519
    Abstract: A process for producing a substance with a water-soluble packaging. The process comprises the following steps: a) a water-soluble material is deformed so as to embody a vessel; b) the vessel is filled with a filling material selected among the group comprising detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, body care products, auxiliary agricultural agents, adhesives, surface-treating agents, construction materials, dyes or food items; c) a water-soluble film web is applied to the filled container; d) the filled container and film web are sealed; and e) the sealed and filled container is finished. The inventive methods are characterized in that a negative pressure is generated in the filled container in the course of the process. In order to generate the negative pressure, the air located between the filling material and the water-soluble film web applied in step c) escapes at least in part through openings in the water-soluble film web applied in step c).

  • Patent number: 7438212
    Abstract: A container, in particular for free-flowing substances, comprising a blank (16) made of sheet-like, flexible material in particular cardboard, which can be folded at least to form part of the container, a first wall (1) and a second, adjacent wall (4) of the container, the walls (1, 4) being angled in relation to one another and being connected integrally to one another in the region of a common edge (5), it being the case that a weakening line (7) runs over each of the walls (1, 4) and surrounds the region of a reclosable pouring element (6), which is formed essentially from the material of the walls (1, 4), and that a line of inflection (15) passes through the pouring element (6), crossing over the edge (5) in the process, and divides the pouring element (6) into a pouring portion (6a) and an operating portion (6b). A container in which a greater number of opening and closing actions is made possible is provided in that the operating portion (6b) has a reinforcing element (9) in the region of the edge (5).
