The packaging container includes one layer of shaped packaging material and has a pull tab to make an opening, for example, for a straw. The pull tab is built into the packaging material by the cutline and in the area of the pull tab, a closure film is connected to the inside of the packaging material. A connection area of the pull tab is connected to the closure film, so that by pulling on the pull tab in the connection area, the opening for the straw is created. The pull tab includes the packaging material itself and must not be separately connected to the container. With a penetration of the closure film, for example with a straw, this can be avoided. | 04-25-2013 |
20130279832 | PACKAGING CONTAINER WITH PULL TAB - A packaging container with a pull tab is provided. The packaging container includes a pouch with at least one opening or at least one perforated openable area in a pouch wall, and one or more pull tab labels adhesively connected to at least one outside wall of the pouch and covering the at least one opening or one perforated openable area. The one or more pull tab labels include a substrate with at least one notch in an edge of the pull tab label and a pressure sensitive adhesive on at least a portion of one surface of the substrate. The peel strength between the pull tab label and the outside wall of the pouch is lower in the area of the pull tab label proximate the notch then in the area of the pull tab label proximate the opening or the perforated openable area in the pouch. | 10-24-2013 |

20160055991 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC USER DEVICE - A portable electronic user device, in the form of an electronic key, having an inherently rigid button for activation by a user. The portable electronic user device further has a flexibly deformable membrane including a first side having at least one support section on which the at least one button is supported via the plunger, and an actuating section, separate from the at least one support section, for receiving and forwarding an actuation of the button to an electrical switch element. There is a rigid frame which bears the membrane on a second side opposite the first side, wherein, in the assembled state, having the membrane in the region of the at least one support section, the frame has at least one breakout, via which the membrane is moveable by the plunger upon activating the at least one button and, in dependence on the size and/or the shape of the breakout, provides a force for resetting the button. As a result of the separation of the generating of the reset force on the support sections movable by the first breakouts and the switch function in the region of the activation section, there is great freedom in the design of the portable electronic user device, wherein reliable triggering of the switch element is always ensured. | 02-25-2016 |
