Abstract

The package (1) of bath salts (3) has a flat base (5) and welded sides. It contains a sachet (4) of volatile bath oil (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Badesalz in Form eines Siegelrand-Standbeutels aus Kunststoff.The invention relates to packaging for bath salts in the form a stand-up pouch made of plastic.

Derartige Verpackungen sind bekannt. Dem Badesalz, bei dem es sich häufig um Meersalz aus dem Toten Meer handelt, werden ätherische Öle mit Duftstoffen und Farbzusätzen zugegeben. In dem Standbeutel befindet sich also eine Mischung aus dem Badesalz und einem Ölbad. Bei dieser Art der Mischverpackung müssen verschiedene Kompromisse eingegangen werden, da sich Salz und ätherische Öle nur schlecht vertragen.Such packaging is known. The bath salt where it is often Dead Sea Sea Salt essential oils with fragrances and color additives added. So there is a mixture of in the stand-up pouch the bath salt and an oil bath. With this type of mixed packaging different compromises have to be made because salt and essential oils do not go well together.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpakkung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die durch die Mischung von Badesalz und Ölbad in dem Standbeutel auftretenden Probleme vermieden werden.The invention is based on the object of packaging to create the type mentioned, in which the by mixing bath salt and oil bath in the stand-up pouch problems occurring are avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

Erfindungsgemäß werden Badesalz und Ölbad also nicht beim Verpacken gemischt, sondern sie sind so in dem Standbeutel angeordnet, daß eine Vermischung nicht stattfindet. Die relativ geringe Menge des Ölbades im Verhältnis zu der Menge des Salzes befindet sich in einem entsprechend kleinen Sachet, dessen Material so ausgewählt ist, daß die unerwünschte Migration der ätherischen Öle nicht stattfindet. Hier kommen beispielsweise Aluminiumverbundfolien in Frage. Da das Sachet klein ist, ist der Kostenfaktor dieser relativ teuren Verbundfolien gering. Der eigentliche Standbeutel ist aus einer Kunststofffolie hergestellt, die lediglich das Badesalz aufnehmen muß.According to the invention, bath salt and oil bath are not used Packaging mixed, but they are so in the stand-up pouch ordered that mixing does not take place. The relative small amount of oil bath in proportion to the amount of the salt is in a correspondingly small sachet, whose material is selected so that the unwanted Migration of essential oils does not take place. Here aluminum composite foils, for example, are suitable. There the sachet is small, the cost factor of this is relative expensive composite films low. The actual stand-up pouch is Made from a plastic sheet that is just the bath salt must record.

Erst wenn das Produkt zum Baden eingesetzt werden soll, werden die beiden verpackten Substanzen getrennt voneinander aufgenommen und getrennt in der Badewanne zur Lösung gebracht. Die leicht flüssigen ätherischen Öle werden vom Benutzer erst unmittelbar vor dem Einstieg in die Wanne zugesetzt, so daß ihre Wirkung maximiert wird. Es wird verhindert, daß die ätherischen Öle schon während des Salzauflösens verfliegen. Das Salz hat im Badewasser die Tendenz organische Öle aus der Lösung zu verdrängen. Man kommt mit weniger Emulgatoren aus.Only if the product is to be used for bathing the two packaged substances separately recorded and separately solved in the bathtub. The lightly liquid essential oils are used by the user only added immediately before entering the tub, so that their impact is maximized. It is prevented that the essential oils already during the salt dissolution fly. The salt tends to be organic in the bath water To displace oils from the solution. You come with less Emulsifiers.

Auch fällt eine Salz-Öl-Mischung entsprechender Intensität wegen des hohen Ölgehaltes sehr klebrig aus, so daß sie vom Verbraucher bereits aus diesem Grunde häufig nicht akzeptiert wird. Dieses wird durch die getrennte Verpackung sicher verhindert. Auch wird eine Reaktion von Salz und Ölbad vermieden, so daß auf entsprechende Stabilisatoren verzichtet werden kann. Da das Salz eine schlechte Adsorptionsfähigkeit hat, ist der Ölgehalt der bekannten Salz-Öl-Mischungen gering. Derartige Bäder haben natürlich eine entsprechend geringere Wirkung. Bei der Verpackung nach der Erfindung können die Gewichts- und Volumenverhältnisse von Salz und Ölbad optimal aufeinander abgestimmt werden.A salt-oil mixture of appropriate intensity also falls because of the high oil content very sticky, so that it from For this reason, consumers are often not accepted becomes. This is ensured by the separate packaging prevented. There will also be a reaction of salt and oil bath avoided, so that corresponding stabilizers are dispensed with can be. Because the salt has poor adsorbability has, is the oil content of the known salt-oil mixtures low. Such baths naturally have a corresponding one less effect. In the packaging according to the invention can the weight and volume ratios of Salt and oil bath are optimally coordinated.

Auch wird der Verpackungsaufwand minimiert.The packaging effort is also minimized.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung unter Hinweis auf die Zeichnung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.In the following the invention with reference to the drawing explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

Die einzige Figur zeigt eine schematische, perspektivische und geschnittene Darstellung einer Verpackung nach der Erfindung. The only figure shows a schematic, perspective and sectional view of a package according to the invention.

In einem Siegelrand-Standbeutel 1 aus einer Kunststofffolie, deren Eigenschaften lediglich unter Berücksichtigung des aufgenommenen Salzes ausgewählt werden muß, befindet sich neben dem Badesalz 3 ein dicht verschlossenes Sachet 4, das einen Badezusatz, d.h. ein Ölbad 2 mit ätherischen Ölen enthält. Das Sachet, das relativ klein ist, besteht aus einer Verbundfolie, bei der eine Migration der ätherischen Öle nicht möglich ist. Da diese relativ teure Folie nur einen geringen Anteil ausmacht, ist die Verpackung entsprechend kostengünstig.In a sealed-edge stand-up pouch 1 made of a plastic film, their properties only taking into account the salt must be selected is located next to the bath salt 3 a tightly sealed sachet 4, the a bath additive, i.e. contains an oil bath 2 with essential oils. The sachet, which is relatively small, consists of one Composite film, in which a migration of essential oils not possible. Since this relatively expensive film only one makes up a small proportion, the packaging is appropriate inexpensive.

Wenn das Bad zum Baden eingesetzt werden soll, wird die Verpackung geöffnet und zuerst das Badesalz aufgelöst. Das Ölbad wird erst unmittelbar vor dem Einstieg in die Wanne zugesetzt. Beide Produkte entfalten so ihre optimale Wirkung.If the bath is to be used for bathing, the packaging opened and first dissolved the bath salt. The oil bath is only added immediately before entering the tub. Both products thus develop their optimal effect.
