Packaging material laminate structure
Abstract
A packaging material laminate structure comprises a first side, a second side opposite the first side and an attenuated area. An opening device is arranged with a first portion on the first side, with a second portion on the second side and with a first material bridge connecting both portions through the attenuated area. A consumer opening area is defined on the packaging material laminate and arranged such that packaging material laminate is ruptured on using the plastic opening device to open the consumer opening area. A pouring support device adjacent to the consumer opening area is having a pouring portion arranged on the first side and a support portion on the second side, wherein the pouring portion and the support portion are connected via a second material bridge through the attenuated area.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A packaging material laminate structure comprising:
a first side, a second side opposite the first side and a attenuated area; a plastic opening device arranged with a first portion on the first side and with a second portion on the second side, wherein the first and second portion of the plastic opening device are connected via a first material bridge through the attenuated area; a consumer opening area on the packaging material laminate structure, that packaging material laminate is ruptured in a defined manner on using the plastic opening device to open the consumer opening area; a pouring support device adjacent to the consumer opening area having a pouring portion arranged on the first side and a support portion on the second side, wherein the pouring portion and the support portion are connected via a second material bridge through the attenuated area.
2 . The packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the plastic opening de-vice and the support portion of the pouring support form an integral portion on the second side.
3 . The packaging material laminate according to claim 1 , comprising a bulk layer, a barrier layer and at least one laminate layer, wherein the attenuated area lacks at least the bulk layer.
4 . The packaging material laminate according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more weakened areas or lines, said areas or lines defining the consumer opening area, such that the package material laminate is ruptured at least partly along these areas or lines during opening.
5 . The packaging material of claim 4 , wherein the one or more weakened areas or lines are arranged adjacent to the attenuated area as to support rupture of the packaging material laminate to open the consumer opening area.
6 . The packaging material of claim 4 , wherein the second portion on the second side comprises a weakened line at least partly following the one or more weakened areas or lines on the first side.
7 . The packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a weakened line that is at least partly overlapping the attenuated area.
8 . The packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the pouring portion comprises a lateral dimension which is greater than a lateral dimension of one of the attenuated area and the consumer opening area.
9 . The packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the pouring portion comprises a pouring lip distanced from the first side of the package material laminate.
10 . The packaging material according to claim 9 , wherein said pouring lip comprises a laterally rounded shape with its outermost edges of the lip having a greater distance to the packaging material laminate than a central part of the lip.
11 . The packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein a lateral dimension of the second material bridge is smaller than a lateral dimension of one of the first material bridge and pouring portion.
12 . Container for a liquid comprising the packaging material of claim 1 .
13 . Container of claim 12 , wherein the outermost edge of the pouring support protrudes a ridge of the container.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
