Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic container for food in particular, with an inner receiving space for food or other good forming the lower part, which has at least two edge regions separated from each other side walls, and with a cover of the receiving space serving and can be fixed on an edge of the lower part lid, which is to be deducted from an outer edge region of the plastic container forming an access corner by hand from the plastic container.
  • Known plastic containers often have a certain corner, from which a lid is deducted ago. At this corner, for example, the plastic container is provided on its lid with a handle flag, which allows easy mounting of the lid. Often a tamper-evident closure is also arranged on the edge of the plastic container forming the access corner.
  • An edge or an edge region is to be understood here as an area that can be seen as the corner region of the plastic container. This does not necessarily have to be bent or angular / angular in the geometric sense, but it can also be formed otherwise curved.
  • the plastic container has a circumferential contour running along the edge, which is displaced inwards toward a vertical central axis in the region of the edge region forming the access corner in relation to the other edge region.
  • the peripheral contour is therefore, for example, flattened in the region of the corner, whereby the distance from one adjacent side wall to the other adjacent side wall in the area of the access corner is extended.
  • an optical recognizability of the access corner or of that edge region is achieved, from which the lid is to be pulled up and grasped or separated from the lower part.
  • the corner access to the lid e.g. an arranged on the lid edge tab or handle plume are designed to be larger.
  • the tab or grip tab can be made longer along the circumferential direction in the area of the access corner; on the other hand, it can also be formed laterally outward by springing back the corner, without the maximum extent between the access corner and vertical central axis being greater than that between the central axis and the other edge regions.
  • the access area is easier to recognize and handle.
  • the plastic container for food or other good is faster to open.
  • the peripheral contour represents a section along or preferably parallel to the edge, which is in particular a (horizontal) cross-section parallel to a substrate on which the plastic container is placed.
  • the object is further achieved by a plastic container having in the region of the access corner a peripheral contour with a mean curvature which is smaller than a curvature of the other, not an access corner forming edge region.
  • a mean curvature (direction change per unit length) is to be understood as meaning the arithmetic mean of the individual curvatures of the circumferential contour in the area of the access corner or of the other edge region.
  • the edge region forming the access corner can likewise be broadened, but additionally also be displaced outwards away from the central axis.
  • the side walls of the plastic container may have an open structure, but are preferably formed closed, so that liquids or flowable food can be accommodated in the container.
  • the side walls of the plastic container are not necessarily designed as predominantly or completely flat surfaces, but may likewise have, for example, curved structures in a cross section or be provided with bends.
  • the plastic container according to the invention has four walls and consequently four edge regions, of which at least one forms an access corner.
  • a tamper-evident closure is preferably arranged, which can be found more easily on account of the optical indication. Due to the inventive spread of the edge region of the tamper-evident closure can be made larger. For example, the tamper-evident closure have a tab, by their detachment can be released in the invention then greater access to the lid. The lid is therefore easier to peel off.
  • the mean curvatures of the edge regions which are to be set in relation to one another preferably deviate from one another by at least 10% in order to ensure visual recognition of the edge region, in particular provided with a tamper-evident closure.
  • the ratio K2 to K1 average curvature of the peripheral contour in the region of the other edge region to mean curvature of the peripheral contour in the region of the access corner
  • the ratio K2 to K1 between 1, 5 and 10
  • edge regions can also have straight sections, in particular a circular arc-shaped edge region can be provided as an access corner.
  • the edge area not forming the access corner or the other possibly existing access corners can likewise have a circular-arc-shaped peripheral contour.
  • a contour of the lid corresponds to the peripheral contour (in plan view) in order to improve the visibility of the access corner, even when viewed from above.
  • the access corner may be defined by a flat or plane, i. be provided with a curvature of zero-provided section. In a shallow transition between side walls, the access corner is correspondingly wide and easily identifiable, in particular offset from other rounded corners.
  • the visual recognizability of the access corner and the handling of an article according to the invention can furthermore be improved by way of at least one side wall adjacent to the access corner, in which a stepped grip region is present.
  • This can be formed, for example, offset portions or another surface structure. If preferably both adjacent to the access corner side walls have a handle portion, a plastic container according to the invention can be easily held with one hand, while the other hand pulls the cover at the access corner and separates from there from the lower part. The opening of the container is thus easier.
  • the container is provided at least at two opposite corners each with a tamper-evident closure.
  • the container according to the invention then has two access corners and can be opened from two sides.
  • the cover has a peripheral elevation which follows the circumferential contour of the container according to the invention.
  • the outer or circumferential contours of the lid and the lower part have different curvatures in the area of the access corner, such that a lid present on the lid at least partially covers a gap formed between edges of the lid and the lower part.
  • the outer contour of the lid is considered in particular neglecting the grip flag.
  • FIG. 2 shows the object according to FIG. 1 in a plan view
  • FIG. 5 shows a circumferential contour of a further article according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary embodiment of a plastic container according to the invention according to FIG. 1 has a lower part 1 which comprises side walls 3 which are separated from one another by edge regions 2. Two of the edge regions 2 are shown delimited by dashed lines 4 in FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity. Between the side walls 3 and the edge regions 2, a receiving space is formed, which is covered by a cover 6. The cover 6 is fixed to an unrecognizable edge of the lower part 1, which extends partially within a survey 7. In addition, along the upper edge of the lower part 1, a supporting or additional edge 8, which is in particular used to stabilize the container and is offset outwards and held by support ribs, extends. An access corner 9 is provided in the region of the latter forming edge portion 2 a tamper evident 11 integrated.
  • tab 12 An integrated into the support edge 8 tab 12 is part of the tamper-evident closure.
  • the operation of the tab 12 is preferably carried out via a partially projecting from the edge of the tab flag 13. Folding the tab 12 is an access to a bottom of the lid 6 free. From here, the cover 6 which is otherwise integrated without a manually graspable edge in the support rim can be gripped and pulled away from the lower part 1.
  • a plastic container according to the invention has two access corners 9, which are provided with a tamper-evident flap opposite the other edge regions 2. It can be clearly seen that the edge region is made longer in the area of the access corner, so that a tab to be arranged in the access corners can be made larger.
  • the lid on grip tabs 16 for better detection of the lid 6 after opening the tamper-evident closure.
  • the rounded to the outside grip tabs are formed enlarged in comparison to the prior art, since the curvature in the region of the access corner along a peripheral contour of the lid (neglecting the handle plume 16) is less than the corresponding outer peripheral contour of the lower part 1 Cover 6 is stronger towards the inside pulled as that of the lower part 1.
  • the handle plank covers at least partially a resulting between edges of the lid (6) and the lower part 1 gap.
  • edge regions straight in sections in plan view or along a contour
  • contours provided with circular arc sections are advantageous because they are visually pleasing and comfortable to handle.
  • the lid is easy to peel off.
  • the ratio of the curvatures of the upper right edge region in the figure to the lower right edge region in the figure lies at 1.8.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 circumferential contours 15 are shown, which result along a section just below the supporting edge of the associated plastic container according to the invention. While the radii of curvature differ comparatively slightly in FIG. 4 and the ratio of the curvature K2 of the upper right corner to the curvature K1 of the lower right corner is 1.1, the ratio of the curvature K2 is the upper right corner and the right upper edge region, respectively to the curvature K1 right lower edge region in Fig. 5 at 7.3. The attachable there originality can be made large accordingly.
  • the arrows K1 and K2 serve to illustrate the curvatures changing along the edge region 2.
