Abstract

一种用于食品或其它易腐物品的改进容器，其具有简单的结构以及一个多功能的盖子。接收器部分采用的是吹模塑料，而在接收器以及盖子上施用一个具有热缩包装图形载体的外层。多功能盖子套装在容器的口端并密封容器的口端，并能够倒置以作为一个碗而安置在容器的口部，且在使用容器时能够套装在容器的底部。

Description

带有多功能盖子的消费品容器及其制造方法
本发明的背景
1.技术领域
本发明涉及一种带有一个多功能盖子的、适于存储食品(消费品)的刚性容器或罐。在一个实施例中，当密封容器时，盖子套装在容器的口端上，但是在使用容器时盖子也可以与容器的底部套装在一起。另外，在倒置时，盖子安置在开口端内，从而起到碗的作用。容器由一个能够由一薄膜图形载体封装的模制体构成。在本发明的一个实施例中，薄膜图形载体有助于容器的遮断性。容器能够竖立在显示货架上或可以由软饮料销售机销售。
2.相关技术的描述
用于消费品(如马铃薯片、玉米饼片或其它小商品)的容器的包装设计和结构要求考虑几种竞争因素。一个竞争因素为必须将容器设计成能够避免所含物品产生老化，细菌引起的腐烂以及物理性损坏。理论上，容器必须具有遮断性，所述遮断性能够限制或阻止氧气和水份经密封时的容器流动以及物品受到光线的影响。氧气和水份流入容器内会降低物品的储存寿命。如果容器的遮断性限制了物品受到光线的作用，那么也能够减缓物品的老化。通过将物品放置在刚性容器中或在非刚性容器中提供足够的松散填装以在容器内提供空气缓冲，能够限制物品的破裂。
考虑消费品的容器的另一个因素为容器的销售形状或外观。消费商品容器必须能够确保容纳在其内部的物品具有吸引人的外观。通常理想的是容器能够自由竖立存储架上。另外，容器必须能够支承或固定至容器或设置在容器中的图形，以有助于商标识别以及包装的外观。多种现有技术的容器由至少三个层或更多层构成，它们包括防潮层，抗氧层，挡光层以及图像载体，所有这些层均可模制而成或形成理想的外观。
容器的特殊遮断性经常取决于必须保护的物品。例如，如香脆薄饼这样的某些物品不需要用于保护的抗氧层。同样，另外的某些物品可以不需要防潮层或阻光层。因此，通常以保护容纳在其内部的特殊物品所需的最小遮断性来设计容器。
在消费商品容器设计中要考虑的另一个因素是填装和运输容器的经济性和效率。理论上容器的结构应能容易、有效地在生产线上填装物品。另外，容器必须能够经济地装入盒子或板条箱内，以便使运输成本降至最低。其对于容器的各个部件(如容器盖子)来说的有利之处还在于：能够容易地套放在一起以便在装配在容器上之前进行运输和装卸。
消费品容器设计的其它设计标准在于容器的成本以及结构的简易性。加设在容器上的每一层均可提供辅助的理想遮断性。但是，每一层的加设也会导致制造容器成本的升高。一般来说，造价较低的容器会限制涉及制造容器的材料层以及材料量。
特定消费容器的设计也可具有多种应用的特殊设计标准。例如，与销售因素相关，希望制造在消费者使用时特别适用于分送和保存物品的容器。可以将容器设计成具有一个易于开启的顶部，可以将容器的尺寸和形状设计为易于用一只手握住容器，且可以将容器设计成具有一个开口，该开口的尺寸对于消费者而言应足以能够通过手抽出物品而从容器取出物品。一种用途的特殊考虑的另一个例子涉及从通常为软饮料售货机的机器中分送消费容器。必须将被称为“可销售”容器的这类容器设计为具有合适的尺寸和重量，以易于将它们加装在标准的软饮料销售机中并易于从所述销售机中发送。这些尺寸也可形成适于与汽车中的杯子固定器一起使用的容器。
同样，必须考虑容器的人机工程学。可以将容器设计成允许通过将排出容器的物品倒入消费者口中而直接消费物品。
容器中不同部件的实用性也是一个重要的设计因素。可以将密封容器的盖子用作用于保存物品以供消费者消费的碗或杯子。容器自身可以提供其它功能用途或提供特殊的重新密封性能。
以上内容并不包括所有情况，但它们却表明了关于消费容器的设计要点。通常，这些和其它设计要点会发生冲突，从而要求权衡及兼顾。例如，由于会降低包装效率或增大生产线填装或制造的难度，因此，某些销售图样或外观图形是不实用的。较厚的多层结构能够提供保护物品所需的理想遮断性，但是这种结构会大大地增加结构的成本和复杂性。由消费者选用的特点(如易于打开以及可重新密封的顶部)的增加还可能引入制造的复杂性并提高整个成本。结果，小食品工业仍在研制具有简单、经济结构的容器，其能够提供独特的货架展示性，并提供允许一只手操作的不同消费者均适合的特点，并以经济、有效的设计提供足够的遮断性。
特别是，在现有技术中并不存在一种具有盖子的适于销售的消费商品容器，其能够以有效、简单及经济的设计实现多种功能。具有可除去的盖子的大多数容器除了用于重新密封容器以外，不会对可除去的盖子提供任何其它功能。另外，通常在容器上并不设有在使用容器时用于存放可除去盖子的结构。通常，在消费者想要仅仅倒出容器内的一部分食品时，必须使用与所述容器无关的第二个杯子或碗。虽然某些现有技术的容器结合了以上列出的两个特点，但是没有一种容器带有能够起到杯子作用的盖子结构，其中，所述杯子应能放置在容器顶部上，在不使用时能够存放在容器的底部且为了储存食品而密封容器，并且没有一种容器含有适于使其自身以可销售和货架展示包装形式、由消费者单手使用的容器设计。
因此，需要一种能够使多功能盖子与经济性设计相结合的易于制造的消费品容器。盖子容器应能够提供可接受的、适当的遮断性，以及对物品的物理密封和保护。多功能盖子应能作为容器口端的密封装置，在不使用时应能存放在容器的底部，且应起到能够安置在容器顶部以便消费者单手使用的杯子或碗的作用。容器必须能够独立地竖立在存放架上，或者能够由软饮料销售机发送出。这种设计必须简单且制造成本不高，并能确保包装和填装效率，且对于消费者来说具有直观感受功能。
本发明的概述
所提出的发明包括一种以经济地设计出的、可销售的容器，这种容器用于小商品和其它易腐食品且具有一个多功能盖子。一个实施例包括一个大致圆柱形容器，该容器在填装之后，具有一个套装在容器口端上的多功能盖子以及一个封装在盖子和容器上的外层薄膜。外层还能够补充容器的遮断性。
本发明结构简单且能够以低成本制造而成，能够对所盛装的物品提供足够的保护，并易于消费者使用。多功能盖子能够重新密封容器，并在安装在容器顶部时能够用作盛装物品的碗，且能够通过套装在容器底部而被存放。所述容器能够独立竖立在货架上，或能够从软饮料销售机送出。与现有技术相比，所述容器在制造的容易性、包装效率以及消费者的使用功能方面均有所改进。
通过下面的详细描述将能够清楚地理解本发明的上述以及其它特点和优点。
附图的简要描述
在所附权利要求中限定了被认为是本发明特征的新特征。但是，在结合附图阅读时，参照以下对说明性实施例的详细描述将能最清楚地理解本发明本身，以及其应用中的最佳方式，其它目的和优点，其中：

详细描述
图1a和1b给出了本发明中一种圆柱形具体装置的透视图。参见图1a，容器包括一个能够提供容器刚性以及抗氧和防潮特性的接收器100。接收器100也可是不透明的，以防止光线作用于装在其内部的物品。接收器100通常是被吹模制成的并可由能够提供有效防潮特性的高密度聚乙烯制成，或由能够提供有效抗氧特性的乙烯一乙烯醇共聚物制成。适用于构成接收器的其它适当的材料的例子包括聚乙烯和聚酯。在-种可选择的方案中，接收器100可以是多层的或由一种既能提供有效防潮特性又能提供有效抗氧特性的材料构成。
接收器100包括一个口端102，一个底端104，以及一个略微环形收缩的中央部分106。在一个实施例中，所述收缩中央部106包括绕容器周边的波纹部108。该波纹部108能够提供辅助圆周强度，并且与朝中央部分106的略微变细部分相结合，能够提供便于消费者手握持的握持部。
接收器100的口部102逐渐变细以与盖子110套装。口部102的尺寸还应允许盖子110倒置并在放置或安装在口端102内时能够作为一个杯子，如将结合图3进一步详细描述的那样。如将结合图4进一步详细描述的那样，盖子110的尺寸还应能够套装在容器底部104上。
制造本发明容器的第一步骤包括制造接收器100。这一步骤通常由对所选择的材料进行吹模而成，但是也可以由注模，热成形或用于容器制造的其它方式制成。在从模具中取出接收器100后，可以对其加装经口部102落入接收器100内的物品或消费食品(如玉米小食品)。在对接收器100加装了物品后，通过工业上熟知的方法，在容器的口端102上紧固可除去的密封(如图2a中标号220所示)。这种可除去的密封例如可以采用通过加热和加压密封或其它方式固定的金属化聚酯。一旦将可拆除的密封设置在口端102上，随后便将盖子110套装在口端102上。
参见图1b，随后在盖子110和接收器100的一部分上封装外层102。在要求比接收器100所提供的性能更多的遮断性的可选择方案中，外层112是否采用也能够提供辅助抗氧特性或抗光特性的材料的选择取决于对接收器100所用材料的选择。如果接收器100材料提供了抗氧层，那么所选择的外层112材料则可提供防潮特性，反之也一样。外层112同样也能够起到图形载体的作用。作为可选择的方案，通过使图形设置在容器100内或直接在接收器100上丝网印制图形，可以制造不带外层112的容器。
外层112可包括热缩包装且其可由例如聚对酞酸乙二酯制成以提供辅助抗氧特性，或由聚丙烯制成以提供辅助防潮特性。这两种材料也可起到可接受的图形载体的作用。容器的一个实施例使用了一种聚氯乙烯塑料薄膜热缩包装112，其在用作图形载体时能够增加辅助阻光特性，并且还能够增加一些辅助防潮特性。
用于接收器100或外层112的可接受材料的目录并不是穷举的。相反，能够提供充分遮断性以及理想模塑性、刚性以及图形特性的本领域可获得的任何材料均能够结合使用。
为了进一步降低制造成本和复杂性，在图1b所示的实施例说明：封装所述外层112以便其覆盖于除盖子110的顶端110a和容器的底部104以外的所有部分。通过不封装盖子的顶端110a和容器的底部104，简化了外层塑料薄膜热缩包装112的使用并使每个容器均需要更少的材料。在这种设计中，由外层提供的遮断性的潜在损失降至最小，其原因在于容器底部104通常放置在硬表面上并且至少在打开以前，容器口102还带有能够提供其自身基本遮断性的可拆除密封。作为可选择的方案，可以仅使外层112封装在接收器100上，从而能够进一步节省制造成本。
在本发明的可销售的实施例中，从口端102至底部104的接收器100高度约为6.63英寸。在中央部分106上下的接收器100的最大直径约为2.75英寸。在中央部分106上方和下方的容器最大周长应相等，以便在从加工生产线上下线时，在叠放在存储架上时，或在装箱运输时，通过允许容器之间在每一重心上方和下方的接触，能够提供相邻容器之间的支承。这种在相邻容器的底部和顶部的接触有助于容器接触时的稳定性。在这种可销售的实施例中，中央部分106的最小周长约为2.4英寸。在该实施例中，具有套装在口端102上的盖子110的容器的整个高度为7.84英寸。这些尺寸适于由标准的20-盎司软饮料销售机出售容器。
如图1a所示，口端102略微逐渐变细以既能够正确地套装在盖子110上，又能够提供从口端102倒入盖子110内或其它容器内的功能。另外，逐渐变细的形状有助于防止物品意外倒出口端102。
图2a和2b显示了消费者使用的容器。首先，消费者通过拧动盖子210并破坏盖子210与口端202下方的边缘214交汇处的外层能够除去盖子210。盖子210的除去能够露出固定至口端202的密封220。通过拉起露出的接片222，除去密封220。
一旦除去密封220，便能够将容器内容物(如膨化玉米小食品)倒入盖子210中。也可以使物品230直接倒入消费者的口中。为了重新密封容器，应再次将盖子210套装在口端202上。
如图3所示，将容器设计成便于由一只手使用。一旦被填装，随后便可以使倒置的盖子310固定在容器的口端320中，从而既可为消费而盛装物品330，又可密封容器。由于容器的可供销售的设计非常接近20-盎司的软饮料瓶，因此，能够以一只手握住容器，同时消费者用另外一只手从倒置的盖子310中取出物品330。也可以将所述容器放置在车辆内的常用杯子固定器中，同时消费者可以从倒置的盖子310中获取物品330。
所述盖子的另一种功能在于允许其存放在容器的底部。这种情况如图4所示，图4显示了套装在容器底部上的盖子410。采用这种结构，消费者能够直接将物品倒入自己的口中，手中，或其它容器内且不必担心握持盖子410或应将其放置在之后取回以及重新密封容器所需的位置处。
图5显示了本发明一个实施例的其它特征。特别之处在于，如图所示，将三个盖子509，510，511套放在一起以说明取决于盖子设计的包装效果。特别是，绕盖子开口端的一个环箍(其为露出的中间杯子510的仅有部分)能够确保易于在制造后以及在安装在接收器上之前进行盖子的套放和拆垛。这种环箍有助于杯子在不会附着在一起的情况下自动套放，并且能够增加每一个盖子的圆周强度。另外，应理解所述盖子的制造材料和制造方式可以与根据本发明接收器部分的制造论述的材料和方式相似。
所说明的实施例涉及大致圆柱形的形状。但是，应理解本发明也可包括各种形状。例如，对于接收器，可以采用三棱状结构，以便容纳可堆放的玉米饼片。可以使用方形或矩形结构以容纳矩形香脆薄饼或其它类似物品。同样，对于接收器而言，可以制成与圆形结构不同的椭圆形结构，以更接近油炸以及堆放的马铃薯片形状。可以调节盖子的结构以使其结构与接收器相符合，以便提供前面描述的套装、密封和放置功能。另外，容器可以包括盖子和容器口端的其它设计，其中包括具有屋形开口。在图6a，6b，6c，6d，7a，7b，7c，8a，8b和8c中显示了本发明其它可选择方案的例子，它们说明了能够以任意数量的组合方式结合在一起的主要的各种容器和盖子结构。
在图6a，6b，6c和6d中显示了一种屋形实施例。如前面参照可选择的圆柱形实施例描述的那样，这种容器可同样由一个接收器以及外图形层构成。同样，容器本身的形状主要可以采用所说明的矩形，圆柱形，三棱形或任意其它多种形状，以容纳不同物品或提高各种市场关注性。但是，在该实施例中所说明的一种变形为屋形顶部650。通过撕开两个接片密封件652，654打开盖子的顶部。这一在两个密封件652，654上撕拉的打开动作如图6b和6c所示。如图6d所示，一旦打开屋形顶部650，便能够倒出物品630以便消费。
图7a，7b和7c显示了矩形容器的另一种变形，这种容器具有一个能够将盖子760密封在容器顶部上的扯开接片762。为了获得物品，如图7b所示，消费者撕开可掀开的拉起接片和密封部分762并且除去盖子760。随后，如图7c所示，盖子762的除去使消费者可获取物品730。可以使该实施例中的盖子760重新卡合在容器上，从而套装在限定了容器开口的边缘764上。
图8a，8b和8c显示了矩形容器的另一种变形，这种容器带有一个卡合盖子870。如图8b所示，通过向上按压一个整体式凸起872，可以从容器上除去这种卡合盖子870。这样便露出密封820，该密封820本身通过掀拉一个接片822元件可被除去。一旦从容器上除去盖子870和密封820，便能够从容器倒出物品830，如图8c所示。
应理解所有上述可选择容器的实施例均可以带有一个形状能够适应整个容器形状的多功能盖子。例如，多功能盖子可以与图7a和8a所示的矩形容器形状一起使用，其中，所述盖子具有类似的矩形形状以便套装在容器的口部，在倒置时安置在容器的口部，以及为了存放而套装在容器的底部上。另外，对特定容器形状和盖子结构的研究不应局限于本发明，其应着眼于以对消费者具有最大实用性的简单结构为目标。
虽然根据最佳实施例已对本发明作了特定的描述和说明，但是本领域技术人员应理解在不脱离本发明思想和范围的情况下可对本发明作出各种改进。
