Abstract

A detergent product for treating textiles, in particular for cleaning textiles and/or washing textiles, is illustrated and described, including a film pouch having at least one pouch chamber which is enclosed by at least one water-soluble film and contains a detergent preparation. In order to improve the dissolution behavior of the detergent product, the film pouch has at least one through-flow opening arranged outside of the pouch chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A detergent product for treating textiles, comprising a film pouch having at least one pouch chamber which is enclosed by at least one water-soluble film and contains a detergent preparation, wherein the film pouch has only one through-flow opening arranged outside of the pouch chamber.

2. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein the pouch chamber is formed by at least two film layers which are sealed to one another in one or more sealing sections, and in that the through-flow opening is provided in a region of a sealing section between at least two adjacent pouch chambers.

3. The detergent product according to claim 2 , wherein the pouch chamber is formed by only two film layers which are sealed to one another in one or more sealing sections, and in that the through-flow opening is provided in a region of a sealing section between at least two adjacent pouch chambers.

4. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein the film pouch has a footprint located in the sealing plane, and in that the through-flow opening is provided in a middle region of the footprint of the film pouch.

5. The detergent product according to claim 4 , wherein the through-flow opening has an opening area, and wherein the opening area of the through-flow opening on the footprint of the film pouch is between 0.5% to 50%.

6. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein the film pouch has between two to ten pouch chambers.

7. The detergent product according to claim 6 , wherein the film pouch has between three and five pouch chambers.

8. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein more than two pouch chambers are arranged around the through-flow opening.

9. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein the through-flow opening is oval.

10. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein an outer contour of the through-flow opening is designed to be complementary, at least in some sections, to an outer contour of at least one adjacent pouch chamber.

11. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing section is provided between a pouch chamber and the through-flow opening, and in that the sealing section has a width between 1 mm and 5 mm, and/or in that the sealing section is non-rectilinear.

12. The detergent product according to claim 1 , wherein the through-flow opening has an opening area between 10 mm 2 and 700 mm 2 .

13. A detergent product for treating textiles, comprising a film pouch having at least one pouch chamber which is enclosed by at least one water-soluble film and contains a detergent preparation, wherein the film pouch has more than 1 and less than 10 through-flow openings arranged outside of the pouch chamber.

14. The detergent product according to claim 13 , wherein each of the through-flow openings has an opening area and wherein the opening area of all through-flow openings is between 10 mm 2 and 700 mm 2 .

15. The detergent product according to claim 13 , wherein the film pouch has a footprint located in a sealing plane, wherein each of the through-flow openings has an opening area, and wherein the opening area of all through-flow openings on the footprint of the film pouch is between 0.5% to 50%.
