Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to beverage or other liquid containers and it relates more particularly to a pouring spout for openable containers, such as can and can.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks of current beverage containers and, to this end, it proposes a collapsible container as defined in the claims.
  • a container which can be opened according to the invention comprises a flexible deployable spout, which is folded up and hidden under the capsule of the container.
  • the spout which is hidden under the capsule emerges and deploys outwards in the form of a tube to serve as a neck.
  • the consumer can always wear the mouth in contact with a neck protected from any external stain under the capsule and therefore intact and of food cleanliness during use.
  • the invention has the advantage of not modifying the external dimensions of the containers, which allows them to always be able to be stored in vending machines and refrigerators.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a container according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the container of Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows the container of Figure 1 with the closure cap removed
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the container as shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 we see shown by way of example, a container 10 with its side wall 11, its base 12 and its upper face 13 in which is formed a separable capsule 14.
  • a ring (not shown) to allow the capsule to be detached.
  • a base 15 fixed on its periphery to the side wall 11 and extending with a spacing below the capsule 14 so as to form an intermediate space 16 under the capsule 14.
  • the aforementioned base 15 is pierced with an orifice 17.
  • On the periphery of the orifice 17 is attached one end of a flexible tubular piece 18 which is folded flat on itself and is housed in the intermediate space 16 under the capsule.
  • the consumer detaches the capsule 14 which protects the tubular part 18 folded flat, it is released and deploys outward as shown in Figures 3 and 4 so as to form a spout that can serve as a neck.
  • the consumer can hold the folded tube 18 with his finger until the capsule is completely separated from the container.
  • a small boss 19 is advantageously provided, as illustrated in FIG. 4, to increase the tightness of the folded flexible tube.
