Container, A Device For Delivering A Material Capable Of Flowing, As Well As A Computer-readable Medium

Abstract

A container has a pour opening. In order to be able to portion-wise deliver a dry bulk material or a liquid from the container the container has a divider wall between a first chamber and a second chamber which are connected via a transition chamber. Thus material can pass the pour opening of the container via the first chamber, the transition chamber and the second chamber. Furthermore, a device for such a container is claimed, as well as a computer-readable medium with instructions for a 3D-printer.

1 . A container, which container comprises a pour opening, characterized in that the container comprises a body, which body provides a divider wall between a first chamber and a second chamber which are linked by a transition chamber,
 wherein the divider wall comprises a first side and a second side, and the transition chamber
 at the first side) of the divider wall has an inlet for allowing a flowable material into the transition chamber from the first chamber, and 
   at the second side has a passage opening for delivering the flowable material from the transition chamber to the second chamber, via which second chamber the flowable material can pass the pour opening of the container.   
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a pour opening that can be closed off with a cap as the pour opening. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the body is part of a device for the batch-wise delivery of a flowable material, which device comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein
 the device at the first end comprises a front wall and at a distance of the second end has a dispensing opening for delivering the flowable material,   the body defines at least the transition chamber and the second chamber by means of walls wherein the second chamber opens up at the dispensing opening, and   the divider wall extends from the first end towards the second end.   
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the container is a pack having a roof shaped top side including two angled roof sections, wherein one of the two roof sections comprises the pour opening that can be closed off with a cap as the pour opening. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is a cardboard pack having a topside and an bottom side, with the body for providing the portion-wise delivery of dry bulk material being located in the interior of the cardboard pack, 
       wherein
 a first section of the pack and the divider wall define the first chamber, 
 a second section of the pack and the divider wall define the second chamber wherein the second chamber opens up into the pour opening, and 
 a third section of the pack and the body define the transition chamber; 
 wherein the divider wall extends in a direction being a direction from the topside toward the bottom side, and 
 
       wherein the container is a cardboard pack comprising a front wall, which container
 in an unopened state has a front wall with a lip section that at least partially forms part of the front wall and is defined by a U-shaped perforation, and 
 can be brought in an opened state of the pack by tearing the perforation wherein the lip section is pushed in the pack; and 
 with the lip section pushed into the pack may be in a locked state where the distal end of the lip section is capable of protruding to beyond the divider wall which defines a state wherein the opening is released and the lip section is kept in a locked position; and 
 can be in an at least partially closed state after having been in the locked state by pressing against the divider wall so as to unlatch the lip section allowing it to return by resilience to a state wherein the lip section at least partially closes off the pour opening of the container. 
 
     
     
         6 . A device for delivering a flowable material, wherein the device has a first end and a second end, and comprises a body that includes a divider wall and defines a transition chamber, wherein
 the divider wall has a first side and a second side, and the transition chamber at the first side of the divider wall has an inlet for allowing a flowable material into the transition chamber and at the second side provides a passage opening for delivering the flowable material from the transition chamber;   the body has a first chamber having a lateral opening for receiving the flowable material, which first chamber is connected via the inlet opening with the transition chamber;   the device at the first end comprises a front wall and at a distance from the second end has a dispensing opening for delivering the flowable material;   the body defines by means of walls at least the transition chamber and a second chamber wherein the second chamber opens up in the dispensing opening; and   the divider wall extends from the first end towards the second end.   
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the front wall of the device is provided with the dispensing opening for delivering the flowable material. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the body at the first end between the front wall and the back wall is formed circularly over at least 180° and the remainder of the circumference fits within a circumference defined by that circular form. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 8 , wherein the body is within the circular circumference from the front wall toward the backside. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the device comprises a first device section and a second device section,   the first device section comprises the front wall and the divider wall,   the second device section comprises the transition chamber, and   one of the first device section and the second device section has the form of a cap for the other device section.   
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein at the first end the body is provided with an abutment for contacting the container. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the body is provided with a collar which extends over at least part of the circumference of the body and defines a gap for receiving an upright edge of a plastic pour opening that can be closed off with a cap. 
     
     
         13 . A computer-readable medium, wherein the computer-readable medium is a computer-readable medium with executable instructions for a computer for manufacturing the device according to  claim 6  using a 3D-printer.
