Tubular dosing container

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dosing container for releasing, in a controlled manner, pasty or viscous product by manually pressing on the container, comprising a closable removal opening, wherein the container comprises two side walls which are arranged substantially parallel to each other and which are connected to each other by two face-side walls, which comprise at least one side fold through which the face-side walls ( 3 ) are divided into at least two face-side wall segments which can be laid against each other and/or against the inside of the side walls, wherein the side walls abut each other at an end at a distance from the removal opening and are pressed inward, wherein the removal opening is provided on a container head extending substantially at right angles with respect to the side walls and/or the face-side walls. With the present disclosure, a dosing container having improved restoring properties is specified. For this purpose, it is proposed that the dosing container is formed from a film material which is connected to a shoulder element produced by means of injection moulding and which forms the container head.

1 . A dosing container for releasing, in a controlled manner, pasty or viscous product by manually pressing on the container, comprising:
 a closable removal opening, wherein the container comprises two side walls which are arranged substantially parallel to each other and which are connected to each other by two face-side walls, which comprises at least one side fold through which the face-side walls are divided into at least two face-side wall segments which can be laid against each other or against the inside of the side walls, wherein the side walls abut each other at an end at a distance from the removal opening and are pressed inward,
 characterised in that, 
 the dosing container comprises a film material which is connected to a shoulder element produced by of injection moulding and which forms a container head. 
   
     
     
         2 . The dosing container according to  claim 1 , characterised in that stiffening ribs are on the side walls. 
     
     
         3 . The dosing container according to  claim 2 , characterised in that two stiffening ribs are provided on one of the side walls and at the edge. 
     
     
         4 . The dosing container according to  claim 2 , characterised in that the stiffening ribs open out at their end remote from the removal opening in a container reinforcement extending transversely to the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The dosing container according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the shoulder element or the stiffening ribs are joined to the film material by overmoulding. 
     
     
         6 . The dosing container according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the shoulder element or the stiffening ribs are joined to the film material ( 25 ) by welding. 
     
     
         7 . The dosing container according to  claim 1 , characterised by grip elements on both side walls which stiffen the film material at the container head end. 
     
     
         8 . The dosing container according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the grip elements are formed as one piece on the shoulder element. 
     
     
         9 . The dosing container according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the grip elements are joined to the side walls with the film material. 
     
     
         10 . The dosing container according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the grip elements are continuously formed as a contour of a cover in the longitudinal direction of the dosing container. 
     
     
         11 . The dosing container according to  claim 7 , characterised in that the cover has elevations on its cover side walls formed corresponding to the side walls of the container, the contour of the side-walls of the cover continuing through the grip elements. 
     
     
         12 . The dosing container according to  claim 11 , characterised in that the grip elements protrude beyond a contact base for the cover formed by the shoulder element and that the elevations for accommodating this protruding part of the grip elements are formed inwardly with respect to the container end of the cover and offset with respect to the contact base. 
     
     
         13 . The dosing container according to  claim 11 , characterised in that the grip elements are provided with a surface design which improves the surface feel.
