Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of design and production of containers, mainly of plastic, intended in particular but not exclusively for the packaging of food products.
  • the invention finds its application in particular in the production of containers for single use.
  • Such single-use containers are very frequently used, in particular in large retailers to package food. They are generally made up a jar and a plastic lid, most often transparent. These containers are intensively used in the deli-caterer department of shops, free service or not.
  • These containers include a jar which, for obvious reasons, should be closed either by a cover formed by a plastic or metallic film sealed on the jar, or by a cover.
  • the present invention relates more specifically to containers closed by a cover.
  • a first prior art is constituted by pots having lids removable that can fit into the jar or snap onto it.
  • the main drawback of such containers consists in the fact that the lids are independent pots, they must be managed separately, which complicates their use.
  • the covers in question may be lost. They present however the advantage of being able to be produced from two different molds having each a relatively simple form.
  • Another prior art consists of containers in which the cover is integral with the pot and articulated thereon by at least one hinge.
  • Such containers do not do not have the above-mentioned drawbacks with regard to the jars with lids removable. However, they must be made from complex molds allowing molding the pot and the lid. Such molds are expensive. We will also note that the shape of such containers makes them difficult to store. Finally, their cover cannot cooperate with the jar only by fitting into it. Their structure excludes a cover snapping onto the pot. However, the material constituting such containers contributes to imparting a certain imprecision in this fitting. The lid fitted into the pot can thus cooperate incompletely with it, rise or deform and thus cause improper closure of the container
  • the objective of the present invention is to propose a new concept of container which does not have the different disadvantages of these two states of the technical.
  • an objective of the present invention is to describe such a container which has a lid which can be snapped onto a pot and thus allow closing secure pot.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to disclose such a container that can be easily stored.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a container which has low manufacturing costs.
  • a container consisting of a pot and a lid articulated on said pot by at least one hinge, characterized in that it is constituted by the association of said pot with an element including said cover, said at least one hinge and at least one part forming a ferrule designed to cooperate with the upper periphery of said pot.
  • the lid is secured to the pot and can be positioned either in the open position or in the closed position on the pot.
  • the ferrule part may cooperate with the entire periphery of the pot or only with only part of it.
  • the ferrule portion can thus be glued or welded to the top edge of the pot.
  • the association of the element in question with the pot will be done by snap-fastening of the part forming a ferrule with the pot, that is to say by mechanical cooperation not involving the use of glue or means of welding.
  • this association can be made in situ by users of the containers.
  • the pot has a rim upper to which the ferrule part is secured.
  • said pot has bosses allowing retaining said ferrule portion against the underside of said upper edge of said pot.
  • said flat portion of said ferrule portion is extended by a cylindrical part.
  • a cylindrical part makes it possible to increase the contact surface with the pot and thus reinforce said ferrule portion.
  • said cover has at least one lug of holding the cover in the open position.
  • the container according to the invention will be the more often made of a plastic material having a certain elasticity, especially at the hinges, elasticity which will tend to fold spontaneously the lid towards the pot if at least one such lug is not provided.
  • the invention also relates to any element forming a cover for the production of a container as described above, characterized in that it includes a cover, at least one hinge and at least one part forming a ferrule designed to cooperate with the top of a pot.
  • said element has a cross section allowing it to be stacked with identical items.
  • the pots can therefore be stored in a stack, and the elements including cover and ferrule can be stored separately in another stack, the association between the pots and the element including lid and ferrule which can be done at when to use the container.
  • a container according to the present invention is shown in perspective.
  • This container has a classic oblong shape. It consists of a pot 1 on which is mounted an element incorporating a cover 2, element which will be described in more detail with particular reference to Figure 2.
  • the cover 2 is snapped onto the pot 1 by cooperation with the upper edge of it. Thanks to a hinge, the container can be opened by lifting the cover 2, the latter remaining integral with the pot 1 and being hinged thereon.
  • the container incorporates an element 4 constituted by the cover 2 and by a part forming a ferrule 5 connected to the cover 2 by two hinges 3a, 3b.
  • the ferrule portion 5 is in the form of a complete ring with inside which the pot 1 is inserted. (Note that in other embodiments, this ring could be, if necessary, incomplete).
  • the ferrule part 5 is designed to cooperate with the upper periphery of pot 1. As such, it has a slightly larger internal diameter than the outer diameter of this upper periphery.
  • the cover 2 is a cover of the type intended to be clipped (snapped on) on the pot 1. It is provided for this purpose with clipping members 2a.
  • the container 1 has a upper edge 7 and peripheral bosses 8.
  • the ferrule part 5 has meanwhile a flat 6 and a cylindrical part 9.
  • the flat 6 is designed to be pressed against the underside of the rim 7 of the pot 1 and the cylindrical part to come in contact with the upper part of the pot 1.
  • the bosses 8 make it possible to retain position the ferrule part 5 pressed against the upper rim 7 of the pot 1.
  • the cover 2 has in addition at least one lug 10 facilitating the maintenance in the open position of this cover 2.
  • the container according to the invention is made of polyethylene (in other modes of realization, we can obviously use other materials). The nature of this plastic material implies a tendency of the cover 2 to go up, the lug 10 coming fight this trend.
  • the elements 4 have a structure stackable allowing them to be easily stacked one inside the other and facilitating their storage.
  • the container may have a other shape and that it can be secured to the pot in another way than by snap-fastening, especially by welding or gluing.
  • the pot and the integrating element cover and ferrule can be made of different materials.
