The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 first embodiment according to the invention has shown the lateral plan of a container.This jar comprises an aluminium body 10, a plastic closure 12 and an optional internal partition 14.This dividing plate 14 can be isolated the different consumables and is deposited.What showed among Fig. 1 is almond 16 and cashew nut 18, but they are just as example, and can easily understand, and the present invention is applicable to that those schemes of solid consumables are applicable to any solid consumables, and is not only applicable to dissimilar nuts; And the present invention is applicable to that those schemes of liquid consumer product are applicable to any liquid consumer product, and is not only applicable to this specification sheets those liquid consumer product for describing for example.

Fig. 2 A has illustrated an example of lid 12 with top perspective view form example according to the present invention, wherein this lid is closed.Fig. 2 B has shown the same lid of opening with top plan view.Fig. 2 C is the lateral plan of lid shown in Fig. 2 B, and Fig. 2 D is the side sectional view after this lid is opened for the first time.As shown in common among these figure, described jar comprises an antelabium 20 in the top, and lid 12 comprises an antelabium 24 towards the inboard that is in its place, following peripheral, is used for fixing described jar upper lip.Antelabium 24 can be continuous circulating type crimping (bead) or can be the boss that is interrupted.

Described container is at first by for example DWI technology preparation of technology as known in the art.Described optional dividing plate can be made separately and insert, and perhaps it can be made with the main body of jar at the very start together.Described jar filled by nut seals by a cover that can tear off is set then, and this covers aluminum preferably.Plastic closure 12 is placed on the described cover then.When opening at first, described plastic closure is removed, and the described cover that tears off is removed, and described plastic closure replaced thereafter, is placed on described jar the end of opening.

Described lid comprises a cover plate 30, and this cover plate has regional 30a and the 30b that is separated by crease or otch 32, and otch 32 stays the thin part of cover plate 30 upper surfaces and serves as hinge.When regional 30a was pressed towards the below, regional 30b just leans edge 34 and rotate the solderless wrapped connection contact, so the continuous pressure on the regional 30a causes regional 30b to promote, thereby exposed opening 40.Material and gravel size decision be through selection so that part 30b remains on the position shown in Fig. 2 D substantially, up to part 30b by down by with till resealing described container.In structure shown in Fig. 2 D, the jar with cover plate 30 partially or even wholly tilts, and will make the inclusion that is in the container under the opening to pour out in described container.By before or after opening described cover, rotate described container, which kind of article of selecting to provide and deliver.

Refer now to Fig. 3 A and 3B, the top is only welded as a formation in the jar portion of two-piece type DWI jar 10 and side on an open end of described jar.If use the three-member type jar, then can be used as main body and the tank deck and jar end that dividing member forms jar.Two piece can mainly is aluminium (particularly in the U.S.), but also can be formed from steel (most of in Europe).

Dividing plate 14 can be made separately and insert in the jar (under the situation of two piece can) by the top of opening.For the central authorities that keep described divider upright and be positioned at jar, must be at this dividing plate of bottom support, and this can be finished by ring 50, shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B.The also ring 52 that can be provided for supporting at the top, this ring also just in time is fit to be contained within the open top, and be in removed the remainder that can tear the aluminium cover off below.Since jar top diameter less than the diameter of the main body of jar (jar diameter restrictions the diameter dimension of dividing plate), so the end of dividing plate and jar sidewall between have little gap, but in filling process, most of nuts can not pass this gap.Under the situation of cashew/peanuts, cashew nut is greater than peanut, so will fill cashew nut earlier, and they are too big, can not fall into described gap, therefore when the filling peanut, peanut just can not with cashew nut switch, but that side of the peanut of filling containers only.

Described ring is preferably: the outside of the recessed portion at the bottom of the profile of base ring just in time adapts to jar, and apical ring just in time adapts to the inside of jar neck.Apical ring has the upperlimit of the opening that adapts to jar, and is positioned on the inside part of shrinking of jar neck (being on the shoulder 54 shown in Fig. 1).When the top is welded on when jar last, it is exactly a single type, but when tearing off of top partly is removed, has two with regard to actual.One in your hand, one still is welded on the jar.Jar internal diameter be slightly less than welding (seaminmg) before because still be welded on the inside that part on the jar has exceeded jar a little.In fact, it is called as cut edge (cut edge), and the design of end must have the cut edge part, so that can not be cut during the finger engagement edge.

Above-mentioned cut edge will stop for apical ring provides, and if jar is reversed when the someone provides and delivers nut under not having the situation of plastic closure, cut edge makes apical ring can not come off from jar.

The present invention be particularly suitable for providing and delivering peanut and other tree nuts are in other nuts in the scope of different size two-piece type DWI jar as almond, American pistachios, macadamia and other.For mixed type nut jar, nut can mix simply and not need dividing plate; Perhaps dividing plate can be placed in the jar, to separate all kinds, for example two kinds, three kinds, four kinds or even a greater variety of nut.

Nut can toast, jar can be full of by nut, liquid nitrogen (liquid nitrogen be added in order that emptying oxygen and make jar have rigidity), wide-open aluminum end is soldered, has the plastic closure that mixes characteristic (shaker feature) then and is placed on the jar of filling.If desired, before filling, the vacuum available device makes all or part of container realize vacuum, and/or can before filling nitrogen be introduced in the container, to remove oxygen fully.

The customer will take off plastics and mix lid (shaker cap), opens described jar in open end fully, changes and mixes lid, and be ready to open to mix with a hand cover, and nut poured in the hand or directly pour in the mouth.By the flap of opening with a finger press, a hand just can reseal and mix lid.

Described packing and product will be very useful in snack food market.One 250 milliliters jar can be adorned about 150 gram or nuts of 5 ounces, and it may be single part or may be 2 to 3 parts size.

Characteristics are:

Single part

The hand of not making dirty

Need not people's dirty hand contact nut

Thereby encapsulation nitrogen is removed oxygen, in order to long-term storage

The design of the new-type mixing lid of convenient and actv.

Be fit to the saucer frame in the vehicle

Resealable

Packing can reuse

Light

Following exploitation can expand to 12 ounces of conventional jars, the packing of 500 milliliters of jars, and other possible variation schemes, for example, it is to tear off by this way that the cover that tears off can be configured to: it only provides and needs the same big opening with the dispensing inclusion, just, semi-open port and complete opening port.

Be understandable that, under situation without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can carry out variations and modifications above-mentioned example of the present invention.For example, though be mainly to have described the present invention in the background of two-piece type DWI aluminium pot, dissimilar jars can be used in combination with described new-type dispensing lid with different materials.And can the design of lid be changed, still keep the importance of the lid of property of the present invention simultaneously.In brief, in the scope of the present invention that only defines, can change device and/or lid by claims.
