Description

Descriptive Report of the Invention Patent for "CONTAINER".

The present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of the claim.

Such containers are particularly known for use in fast food restaurants. They serve to receive food products, for example, sandwiches or burgers. After the sandwich or hamburger has been placed at the bottom of the container, the capped container is closed and the closed container is delivered to the customer.

It is not uncommon for customers not to eat their fast food items at fast food restaurants, but to first transport the food elsewhere or eat on their way. Therefore, containers should not only be adapted to be filled quickly and easily, but they must also allow safe (especially drip-free) transport of the food and subsequently very easy handling of the food while it is being eaten. .

It is an object of the present invention to provide a container that meets all these requirements with the help of devices that are as simple to construct as possible.

This objective is achieved by a container comprising the features of claim 1.

The present invention is characterized in that at least one of the sidewall areas of the bottom portion is pivotable around the edge of the bottom portion connecting that sidewall area and the bottom area. Particularly, that area of the sidewall may therefore be pivotable between an upwardly folded position wherein the bottom portion is closed in the form of a box for carrying the food, an outwardly or downwardly folded position. In this downwardly folded position, where the sidewall area should especially be aligned with the bottom portion, the food can be introduced or removed from the bottom portion in a particularly easy manner, because in that position the bottom portion It is accessible not only in a vertical upward direction, but is also laterally accessible due to the downward sidewall.

It is even better if two, three or four sidewall areas are pivotable around the edge of the bottom area by connecting the respective sidewall area and the bottom area. On the one hand, this offers additional possibilities for access to the interior of the bottom part. On the other hand, it should be conceivable that each outwardly folded sidewall area in the outwardly folded position is in alignment with the bottom area or just shows a smaller angle of inclination with respect to the bottom area. In this case, the bottom area is the upwardly folded sidewall areas, as it were, form a food tray, the tray surface being that of the bottom area plus the outwardly folded sidewall surfaces.

This "tray" will be provided with the widest surface if apart from the entire bottom it is foldable in a flat position in which particularly all the sidewall areas of the bottom portion are pivotable or foldable with respect to the bottom area. The larger the tray formed, the more efficiently it can prevent parts of the food, such as sauces or the like, from falling or flowing out of the container.

A connecting shoulder is preferably provided between two adjacent sidewall areas. Such a bounce connection offers several advantages. On the one hand, it can help transmit movement of a sidewall area during pivoting in or out to the sidewall area so that it participates in the movement. Secondly, the shoulders serve to seal the contact edges between two adjacent sidewall areas at least in part at a collapsed position from the bottom to prevent portions of the food from falling or dripping out. Thirdly, the connecting shoulders in the similar position to the unfolded tray at the bottom serve to enlarge the tray surface. A connecting shoulder may particularly also be provided on each corner where the two sidewall areas of the bottom portion are adjacent. Preferably, the connecting shoulder has a bent line given along the bisecting line between two adjacent sidewall areas. . This helps to bend the connecting shoulder inward when the sidewall area is pivoted with respect to the bottom portion.

It is particularly expedient when the connecting shoulder protrudes within the bottom portion in an approximately box-shaped position. The container can thus be better closed because the connecting shoulder does not protrude from the forced side of the bottom. Moreover, the connecting shoulder within the deep part can fulfill other advantageous tasks.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention a recess is provided on the outer edge of a connecting shoulder, i.e. on the edge of the connecting shoulder facing away from the bottom area. When the corresponding sidewall areas are pivoted upwardly from the bottom area, the connecting shoulder projects into the bottom portion and is provided therewith with the recess. This recess can now serve to secure an item received in the container, for example, a food item.

To be more specific, the recess may be arranged approximately in the middle region of the outer edge of a connecting shoulder, preferably in symmetry with the bisector line between the two adjacent sidewall areas. This has the effect that the two recess sections are positioned on top of each other on opposite sides of the bisecting line when the connecting shoulder projects into the bottom part so as to together form an enlarged recess.

It is also advantageous when the recess is positioned approximately half the height of the sidewall areas with respect to the bottom area in case the sidewall areas are pivoted upwardly with respect to the bottom area. When a food is then secured in the recess, it has the advantage, particularly in the case of heated or even hot food product, that the food product is kept at some distance from the bottom area. As a consequence, an air gap that thermally isolates the food from the deep area remains between the food and the bottom area. In this way the food stays warm for a longer period of time and the container handling is improved for the user.

Advantageously, the dimensions of the bottom area approximately correspond to the dimensions of the lid area or they are at least slightly smaller than the lid area. The container can thus be conducted particularly easily in a closed position where the lid portion covers the bottom portion.

It is reasonable when the three flanks of the lid portion are secured together so that each is approximately perpendicular to the lid area. This makes the lid part particularly stable and a box-shaped configuration is given in which it can overlap the bottom part.

To obtain a design of the lid portion that is as stable as possible, it is advantageous when two respective adjacent sides of the lid portion are glued together. Alternatively, other types of connection could be feasible.

In a further improved variant of the invention, at least one flank of the lid portion has a fold line along the bisecting line between the connecting edges of that flank to the datamid area and the connecting edge of that flank to the adjacent flank. This makes it possible to bend or pivot the corresponding flanks in a position where they extend flat in the lid area so that they need less space.

Even better, two opposite sides of the lid portion are each provided with a fold line along the bisecting line between the respective flange connection edge to the lid area and the flange connection edge to the adjacent flank. . This has the advantage that the two opposing flanks are pivotable in a position where they extend flat in the lid area, the flanks transmitting this movement the fold line to the middle flank so that this flank is also bent to extend flat in the lid area. The datamp portion in the assembly is therefore foldable in a flat position where all its components rest flat on each other. This, in turn, has the advantage that with a correspondingly flat folding portion all material for the container is foldable in a flat position in which a large number of containers can be stacked in a way to save a lot of space. As a result, this offers huge logistical advantages.

One possibility of forming fold lines is to provide a perforation in the container material in the corresponding place with the container. This is a possibility that can easily be practiced technically, i.e. predetermining the extension of the fold line and facilitating folding in said line due to the weakened material.

In order to facilitate transport of the item contained in the container, it is advantageous when the container is foldable in a closed position where the bottom assumes a box-shaped position and the datamp part overlaps the bottom part. This has the advantage that the datum portion by overlapping the bottom portion prevents the pivotable sidewall areas of the bottom portion from pivoting outward, thereby ensuring that the bottom portion remains in the box-shaped position. The item contained in the container may be transported in such a way that there is no risk that the container will unintentionally unfold.

Even better is a situation where in the closed position of the container the flanges of the lid portion are arranged to be approximately planar parallel with and outside the sidewalls of the box-shaped bottom portion. In this way the flanks fold the corresponding side walls of the bottom part; an air gap may still remain within the double walls. Both factors will considerably improve the thermal insulation of the container.

An additional advantageous design is that a sidewall area is connected at a first edge to the lid area at a lip opposite said first edge to the bottom area. Accordingly, the shaft around which the lid portion is pivotable with respect to the bottom portion is located at an upper edge of a side wall of the box-shaped bottom part. From there the lid part can be particularly easily pivoted in a position overlapping the bottom part.

In an additional advantageous variant, at least one flange of the lid portion is provided with a holding recess. This enables the user to hold the bottom part in the closed position on the recipient with at least one finger so that said part can be retained while the lid part is pivoted upwardly with respect to the bottom part.

It is particularly advantageous here when the holding recess is provided at the edge of a flank that is adjacent the edge connecting the lid portion and the bottom portion. It is thus ensured that the holding recess is positioned as close as possible to the pivot shaft connecting the lid portion and the bottom portion, which is of particular advantage for container handling, particularly for pivoting upwards from the pivot. part of the lid.

A technically simple and aesthetically satisfactory possibility of forming the holding recess is to round a corner of the corresponding flank.

A further improvement of the container according to the invention is that at least one side wall of the bottom part comprises a closure shoulder which in a closed position of the container may be inserted into a closing opening or a closure insert in the portion. of the lid. The engagement between the locking shoulder and the closing opening or locking engagement ensures that in the closed position of the container the freedom of movement of the lid portion with respect to the bottom portion is restricted so that the container will keep its closure closed. more reliability.

It would also be possible for the container to be formed of one piece gross piece. Compared to a variant which is also possible and in which the lid part and the bottom part are first formed separately, a one-piece blank would offer the advantage of easier and faster production. The blank could be produced here by a drilling tool.

Manufacturing could also be simplified so that the container was formed from a symmetric blank. As a rule, a large number of different materials are suitable as a source material, that is, not just folding materials. To simplify container handling and manufacture, foldable materials such as plastics, paper, cardboard, or also other cellulose materials are preferred.

Two preferred embodiments of the container according to the invention should now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying design. In detail:

Figure 1 shows a blank for a container according to the invention;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a container according to the invention with sidewalls folded from the bottom;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the container shown in Figure 2 with pivot side walls upwardly from the bottom portion.

Figure 4 is a vertical section through the container in the position marked IV-IV in Figure 3;

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the container shown in Figures 2 and 3 in a closed position; and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a container according to the invention.

Similar parts are designated by all figures with similar reference numbers.

Figure 1 is a top view on a flat blank 1 for a preferred embodiment of a container 2 according to the invention. Gross paper preferably consists of a folding material such as cardboard or cardboard. The blank may for example be drilled from a larger portion of said material.

At its smallest region, the blank 1 shown in Figure 1 defines a pivot edge 3. In the top view shown in Figure 1, the blank portion on the left side of the pivot edge 3 represents the lid portion4 of the container 2 wherein the right-hand portion of the pivot edge 3 forms apart from the bottom 5. In the embodiment as illustrated, the container 2 is formed as a portion wherein the lid portion 4 and the bottom portion 5 are each part piece. gross 1 single.

The lid portion 4 centrally comprises a rectangular, particularly square lid area 6 here which will later form the top end or the lid area of the container 2 in a closed container condition 2. The lid area 6 is pivotally connected with the bottom part 5 via the pivot edge 3, which is one of the side edges of the cap area 6. The pivot edge 3 can here serve as a pivot axis. At its three other edges 7, 8, 9, the lid area 6 is connected with the flanks 10,11, 12, that is, with two mutually opposite side flanks 10, 12 and a middle flank 11 which is exactly opposite to the flange edge. pivot 3. The two side flanks 10, 12 are each provided with an adhesive shoulder 13, 14, which are separated by incisions 15, 16 from the middle flank 11.

The bottom part 5 has a central bottom area 17, which is also rectangular, particularly square here. At its four edges 18, 19, 20, 21 the bottom area 17 is connected with a respective sidewall 22, 23, 24, 25, such that the bottom area 17 and the sidewalls 22, 23 , 24, 25 have a cruciform conformation as a whole.

A connecting shoulder 26 is provided between each pair adjacent side wall areas. Each connecting shoulder 26 has a substantially triangular conformation with two sidewall edges 27, 28 wherein the connecting shoulder 26 contacts an adjacent sidewall area 22, 23, 24, 25, and a far-facing outer edge 29 from the bottom area 17. In its central region a recess 30 is provided at the outer edge 29. This recess 30, which is here semicircular around, is arranged in symmetry with the two adjacent sidewall areas 22, 23, 24,25.

In the central region of the sidewall edges 27, 29, sectional incisions 31, 32 may be provided respectively to provide a bend into the connecting shoulders 26 along the edges of sidewalls 27, 28. In addition, each connecting shoulder 26 is provided along the bisector line between adjacent sidewall areas 22,23, 24, 25 with a predetermined fold line 33, the extent of which may particularly be predetermined by a perforation.

Each of the sidewall areas 22, 23, 24, 25 is pivotable in the embodiment illustrated via the joint edge 18, 19, 20, 21 with respect to bottom area 17. The sidewall area 25 closest to the portion of the lid 4 is adjacent to the bottom area 17 via an edge 21, wherein the edge of the sidewall area 25 opposite the edge 21 is the pivot edge 3 which pivotally connects the lid portion 4 with the lid portion. bottom 5.

In the region of pivot edge 3 a small stepped portion34 can be seen on both sides of the blank. The step portion 34, which is made here oblique, has the consequence that a longitudinal dimension of the bottom area 17 is slightly smaller than a corresponding dimension of the lid area 6. This will later be of benefit for the reception of part of the bottom 5 on the lid part 4 in a closed position of the container 2.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the container 2 according to the invention, which container was formed from the blank shown in Figure 1. To this end the two opposite side flanks 10, 12 of the lid 4 are pivoted upwards by 90 ° with with respect to the lid area 6. Subsequently, the adhesive shoulders 13, 14 are pivoted 90 ° towards the lid area 6 until they are oriented parallel to the edge 8 of the lid area 6. Subsequently, the middle flank 11 has been pivoted upwards so that it is perpendicular to both adjoining flanks 10, 12 and lid area 6. An adhesive bond between the adhesive lugs 13, 14 and the middle flank 10 secures the flanges. three flanks 10, 11, 12 in a permanent manner to each other and ensures that the lid portion 4 remains in the position shown in Figure 2, wherein each flank 10, 11,12 is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the lid area 6.How can additionally be seen, the fla side shafts 10, 12 are each provided with a winding 35 having a wide radius of curvature. Winding 35 is provided at the end of the side flanks 10,12 which is closest to the pivot edge 3 connecting the lid part 4 and the bottom part 5. The winding 35 has a radius of curvature which exactly matches the height of the pivot. respective flank 10, 12 with respect to lid area 6. Winding 35 will serve to provide a holding recess in lid portion 4.

In Figure 2 the bottom part 5 is located in the same flat position as in Figure 1. In this "tray position" of the bottom part 5, the bottom area 17, the sidewall areas 22, 23, 24 and 25 and the connecting lugs 26 are positioned in a joint plane in which the lid area is also positioned. Thanks to this arrangement the components of the bottom part 5 so to speak form a "tray", that is, a planar surface.

Figure 3 shows the container 2 which has already been illustrated in Figure 2. Unlike Figure 2, Figure 3 shows a position in which the three bottom-walled areas 22, 23, 24 have been pivoted or folded to around the corresponding edges 18, 19, 20 with respect to the bottom area 17 so that they are each perpendicular to the bottom area 17. To achieve this, start from the "tray position" in Figure 2. , the two sidewall areas 22, 24 on the side may first be pivoted upwards by 90 °. Subsequently, the middle sidewall area 23 is also pivoted upwards by 90 °. During this movement the two connecting shoulders 26 adjacent the sidewall area 23 are bent so that their fold lines 33 are oriented towards the interior of the bottom part 5. Once the lateral wall area of the middle 23 has been 90 ° with respect to the deep area 17, the two halves of each connecting shoulder 26 that are defined by the folding line 33 extend flat to each other by preventing any further pivoting of the sidewall area 23. In the position of the container 2 as shown in Figure 3, the lid area 6, the bottom area 17, and the intermediate sidewall area 25 are positioned in a joint plane.

Figure 4 shows a vertical section through the embodiment of an inventive container 2, as shown in Figure 3, in the position marked with IV-IV in Figure 3. As can be seen here, the sidewall areas 22, 24 are pivoted in around the edges 18 and 20, respectively, with respect to the bottom area 17 such that they are approximately perpendicular to the bottom area 17. In this position, the bottom part 5 assumes an approximately box-shaped position with the bottom -of the box being formed by the bottom area 17 and the sidewalls of the box being formed by the sidewall areas 22, 24.

The connecting shoulders 26 extend obliquely within the box-shaped bottom portion 5. Since the recesses 30 are disposed in the middle region of the outer edges 29 of the disconnect projections, the recess 30 is disposed at approximately half the height of the sidewall areas 22, 24 in the box-shaped position of the bottom part 5 as shown herein.

An item 36, for example a food, is received between the two recesses 30 as shown here. This may, for example, be a sandwich or a burger. Since item 36 is clipped between recesses 30, it cannot move to the bottom part 5. To be more specific, it cannot therefore fall into bottom area 17. Thus, a slit of air 37 remains between item 36 and the bottom area17. In the case of a warmed or warmed item 36, air slot 37 may serve the thermal insulation of item 36 with respect to container 2. This has the advantage that item 36 cools in a slow space and that walls 17, 22.24 on container 2 are not heated and can therefore be more easily secured by a user.

Figure 5 shows the container 2 of the invention in a closed position. In this position the bottom portion 5 is shaped into a box so that all of its sidewall areas 22, 23, 24, 25 are pivoted downward by 90 ° from the bottom area 17. In all four the bottom part 5 machines a connecting shoulder 26 protrude inside the bottom part 5 and may thereby retain an item 36 in the bottom part 5 in the manner shown in Figure 4.

The lid part 4 is then pivoted around the pivot edge 3 in such a manner over the box-shaped bottom part 5 that the lid part 4 overlaps the bottom part 5. This overlap is facilitated as it is due to the portions at the bottom. In steps 34, the cross-sectional dimensions of the bottom portion 5 are slightly smaller than those of the lid portion 4.

In the closed position of the container 2 a flange of the lid portion 4 and a sidewall area of the bottom portion 5 are planar parallel to each other on three sidewalls of the container 2. Flank 10 is flat parallel to the top. sidewall area 24, the middle flank 11 is flat parallel above the sidewall area 23 and the sidewall 12 is flat parallel above the sidewall area 22. A single wall of the container 2 is formed just by the sidewall area 25 which remains in single bed. All other three sides of container 2 are in double layers due to overlapping flanks and sidewall areas, and an air gap may still be present between the flanks and associated wall areas. Both the double layer configuration and the slot additionally help to insulate the container 2 thermally.

Due to the winding 35 the overlap of the sidewall area 24 through the flank 10 is not complete, but a holding recess 38 remains. A corresponding holding recess 38 is also found on the opposite side wall of the container 2 where the flank 12 is also It also does not completely cover the sidewall because of the winding35. In the holding recesses 38 the side wall area 22, 24 of the bottom part 5 is exposed and can be held by a user. While the user is holding the bottom part 5 in this manner, he may pivot the lid part 4 relative to the bottom part 5 with his other hand. The holding recesses 38 in this manner facilitate the handling of the container 2.

Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a container 2 according to the invention. It differs from the previous mode by two points. Both points can be performed independently of each other in a container 2.

A first difference between container 2 shown in Figure 6 and the preceding embodiment is that container 2 in Figure 6 comprises a closing mechanism. For this purpose a locking shoulder 39 is formed on the edge of the sidewall area 23 which is away from the bottom area 17. It has an elongate conformation and is positioned in a plane with the sidewall area 23 .

The cover portion 4 has provided therewith a locking socket 40 with which the locking shoulder 39 may be engaged. Closing socket 40 is formed by an incision in the adhesive shoulders13, 14 whereby the closing shoulder 39 may pass into a space between the adhesive shoulders 12, 14 and the middle flank 11 when apart from the lid 4 it is pivoted over. the bottom part 5 to a closed position of the container 2. It should also be possible for a closure opening to be formed by an edge incision 8 between the lid area 6 and the middle flank 11, whereby the closing shoulder 39 may then engage with said closing opening. Because the locking shoulder 39 engages in the locking socket 40 or closure opening, the freedom of movement of the lid portion 4 is restricted to the bottom portion 5 so that the container 2 can be transported. more safely in its closed position.

A further difference from the embodiment shown in Figure 6 and the embodiment shown in Figure 6 with respect to the preceding embodiment is that the two opposite side flanks 10, 12 of the lid portion 4 are each provided with a fold line 41. Fold lines 41 are each disposed along the bisecting line between the connecting edge 7, 9 of the respective edge with respect to the lid area 6 and the flange disconnecting edge 10, 12 with respect to the adhesive shoulder 13, 14 designated therein. The extension of fold line 41 may, for example, be predetermined by a perforation. Along the fold line 41 the flank 10, 12 may be folded so that the flank 10, 12 extends into the lid area 6. Through fold line 41 this folding movement is transmitted to the flank of means 11 of 12. whereby said flank is also pivoted around the edge 8 with respect to the lid area and passes to a position where it extends flat in the lid area 6. Although the adhesive shoulders 13, 14 are still glued to the middle bank 11, the container 2 can be folded into a completely flat position in this manner. In this position the containers can be stacked and transported very well.

Starting from the illustrated embodiments, the container 2 according to the invention can be modified in many ways. Of course, container 2 is not restricted to use with food product. Instead, other items 36 may also be accommodated in container 2 and carried. Furthermore, container 2 is not limited to the square conformation shown in this case. It should, for example, also be possible for the cover and bottom areas 6, 17 to be in the shape of a circle, triangle, polygon, or any other desired geometric figure. The shapes of the bottom 5 and bottom 17 need not be the same. Of course, this will also increase or decrease the number of sidewalls.

It is also particularly possible for the bottom portion to comprise only a single sidewall area 22, 23, 24, 25 which is rotatable with respect to the bottom area 17 while the position of the remaining sidewall areas is fixed relative to to bottom area 17.This already offers advantages because pivoting the pivotable sidewall area facilitates access to an item 36 positioned in container 2.
