  • the patent EP2125568 is known, where the system and method for soup preparation and presentation in the public catering during a flight is described. Soup is poured into disposable containers, the cover is placed, which is secured by the label. The cover has holes for air discharge.
  • the drawback of the product is that soup in the container can be used only for 5 days after filling, the whole cup is opened during the time of consumption, there is a possibility of spillage.
  • the patent JP11011543 is known, which presents a cup designed for the heating in the microwave, having a double-structure cover. Therefore, one of the parts of the structure, which has holes, is designed to discharge steam during the heating of the contents of the cup, but it does not have the hole which is specially designed for the consumption of the product.
  • JP2007091317 describes a container with a double cover, the upper cover of which is continuous, covering the container and detachable.
  • the lower cover covers only the half of the container and has small holes.
  • the container's inner cover with holes is designed to pour off the water from the container; however it is not intended for consumption of the prepared product.
  • JP200929490 describes a container for the preparation of fast food, which in its cover has laminated hardening strips, which automatically press the cover to the container, when the cover is torn off and the required amount of water is added.
  • the patent CA2133479 is known, where a cup for juice and wine is presented, which has a two-layer cover, between which a wafer is placed.
  • both layers are torn off in turn, the second layer of which is intended for a wafer. Therefore, a two-layer cover has a different purpose.
  • the patent EP1559658 is known, which describes a container which has a two-layer cover, the upper cover of which is continuous, while the lower cover has perforated strips intended to be torn off prior to the consumption. The removal of the strips is intended for the steam discharge during the heating and removal of the product, however, it is not designed for a comfortable consumption of the product.
  • the patent AT 11 583 U1 discloses a container which has a two-layer cover, the upper cover and lower cover of which are continuous before the upper cover is torn off. The removal of the upper cover causes also a piece of the lower cover to be torn off so to create a hole for the consumption of the product.
  • Patents FR 2 734 243 , WO 2006/113951 and DE 20 2011 004 614 U1 disclose similar containers.
  • This invention relates to a container according to claim 1.
  • the invention further provides a container comprising a double cover designed for a liquid or thick product, preferably a soup, which is intended for the distribution in supermarkets and is very comfortable to use.
  • a container comprising a double cover designed for a liquid or thick product, preferably a soup, which is intended for the distribution in supermarkets and is very comfortable to use.

  • the invention presents various types of soups which can be frozen.
  • the soups presented in this invention are not limited to the examples. Soups are produced industrially with appropriate ingredients according to the chosen type.
  • this invention includes a method as per claim 7 of the production of the container, where the double cover is attached to the edge of the container by the hot stamping method. Furthermore, the invention includes also a method as per claim 14 for using the container.
  • the presented container ( Fig. 1 ) consists of a round body (1) and a double cover (2).
  • the diameter of the container is 65-95 mm, volume 200-400 ml.
  • the round body (1) can be produced from various plastic materials. According to this invention, the round body (1) can be heated up to 130°C, therefore it is made from heat-resistant material.
  • the plastic packaging preferably of polypropylene (PP), is suitable for the production of the round body (1).
  • the container is put into carton case/label, which allows to hold the container in hands after its heating.
  • the double cover of the container is attached to the edge of the round body (1) by the hot stamping method. The cover can be used for tight covering of various liquid and thick foods.
  • the cover of the container consists of the upper cover (2a) and the lower cover (2b) ( Fig. 2 ), where the aforementioned double cover is attached to the edge of the round body (1) in such a way that the upper cover (2a) is easily torn off from the edge of the container and the lower cover (2b) remains to cover the container.

  • the lower cover (2b) ( Fig. 4 ) is produced from plastics, which can be selected from the group of polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, preferably from polypropylene.
  • the lower cover has a hole in a shape of an elongated oval, the narrow end of which is situated along the center of the lower cover (2b), while the wider end is along the edge of the container, and which is designed not only for steam discharge during the heating but also for a comfortable consumption of the product.
  • the length of the elongated oval is 30-41 mm, width 14-41 mm. Since the lower cover (2b) remains to cover the container, the hole (3) in a shape of an elongated oval does not allow for the soup to cool and allows to drink soup comfortably, for example when walking or driving, without spilling or splashing.
  • the cooked soup of the temperature of 75-85°C is industrially poured into the round body (1).
  • the double cover (2) is attached to the edge of the round body (1) by the hot stamping method.
