CZ20002064A3 - Tin, especially for shoe polish and the like - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a tin, especially for shoe polish and the like, with a lower part to receive the contents of the tin and a lid. The outer edge of the round tin has a flattened area, at least at one peripheral point, forming a bearing surface to allow said can to be upended.

Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a container, in particular a container for shoe polish, which is suitable as packaging for other goods. The container consists of a lower part in which the contents are stored and a lid, wherein an annular space is formed in the lower part of the lower part into which the upper edge of the lower part of the underlying container can be inserted.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,099 discloses a Sandwich Ice Cream Container which is formed by a housing having an opening in the bottom, which is closed by a plate inserted into the housing. The lower edge of the housing extends over the bottom and is widened in the radial direction so that the upper edge of another housing can be inserted into the lower edge of an overlying housing whose lower edge has a larger diameter than the upper edge extending into it. The top case is covered with a lid. After removing the lid, Sandwich ice cream can be pushed out through the hole in the bottom using the finger.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a container of the type mentioned above, which at the same time permits easier handling. With the treatment according to the invention, a stable stacking of the lower parts of the containers can be achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The container shown in FIG. 2 consists of a lower part (1) for storing the contents and a lid (2) in the illustrated embodiment.

4444 444 44 44 44 44 screwed onto the thread 3 on the upper edge of the lower container part. Instead of a thread, a quick-release or other known method of fastening the lid 2 may also be used.

In the illustrated embodiment, opposing side surfaces 4 are formed at the bottom of the container bottom portion J on its outer circumference, which at the same time form the base surfaces when the individual containers are stacked on top of each other, as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

Opposite side surfaces 4, which also form the base surfaces, may be formed over the entire height of the container, including the lid 2, if another method of fastening the lid 2, such as a snap fastener, is used instead of the screw cap. The side surface 4 serving as a support surface when stacking the containers on top of one another may also be formed on only one side of the outer, otherwise circular, periphery of the container.

As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the lower part of the lower container part 1 is circumferentially surrounded by an additional wall 5 which is arranged at a radial distance from the lower container part 1. The additional wall 5 extends approximately half the height of the lower container part 1 and is mounted or shaped on a radially offset flange or on the circumferential partition 6. The additional wall 5 extends perpendicularly downwards, almost to the outer wall of the bottom container part 1, As shown in FIG. 5, side surfaces 4 are formed on the additional wall 5 so that the lower part Ί of the container retains a round shape, as in conventional embodiments of these containers. If the circumferential partitions 6 are formed individually, they can also be separable.

The lower part 1 of the container is preferably made of plastic, whereby the additional wall 5 can be molded, while the lid 2 is preferably made of sheet metal, but it can also be made of other materials, for example plastic. The additional wall 5 with the side surfaces 4 can also be made as a separate component which can be pressed or fastened to the container bottom part 2 in another manner.

The inner diameter of the additional wall 5 is larger than or may be the same as the outer diameter of the upper part of the container lower part 1 provided with thread 3 (Fig. 6), while the outer periphery of the lower part of the lower container part 2 is slightly smaller than the upper part so that an annular space 7 is formed between the additional wall 5 and the outside of the container bottom 2, into which the upper part 1 of the other container provided with thread 3 can be inserted. As shown in Fig. 6, the lower parts 1 of a plurality of containers can be stacked, respectively. stacked, stacked on top of each other. This stacking of empty containers brings considerable advantages not only in production and distribution, but also in their handling in automatic filling equipment.

As can be seen from FIG. 6, when stacking the containers, the additional walls 5 of the lower part 2 are located one above the other, the centering of the lower parts 2 of the containers being effected by abutting the thread 3 on the inner periphery of the additional wall 5. in the annular space 7, a shoulder 8 is formed on the outer periphery of the lower container part 2, onto which, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper edge of another lower container part 2 rests. This provides better stability of the stacked containers.

The double-walled container bottom part 2 can also be made without side surfaces 4, which allow stacking of the lower container parts 2. Conversely, the lateral surfaces 4, respectively. the supporting surfaces may be formed on the container body itself, for example by flattening the container body itself, which thus does not have an additional wall 5. However, it is preferred that the side surfaces are formed on the additional wall 5 as shown in the respective figures.

According to the invention, further variants of the container design are possible. The additional wall 5 does not have to be formed over the entire circumference of the bottom part 1 of the container, but only on a part thereof, thereby allowing the containers to be stacked on top of one another. The shape of the additional wall 5 may also be formed in a manner other than that shown in the accompanying drawings. For example, the outer periphery of the additional wall 5 may be provided with a crease which facilitates handling of the container when the lid 2 is screwed in. The side surfaces 4 serve the same purpose, which also serve as support surfaces for stacking the containers. The additional wall 5, as shown in FIG. 9, may have a polygonal shape.

While in the embodiment with the side surfaces 4 of the otherwise round container, in the solution according to the invention the additional wall 5 can be provided on the container also in a non-round shape, for example in the form of a polygon.

The additional wall 5 with the two opposite side faces 4 can also be formed as part of the package, in that the shaped additional wall 5, made, for example, of cardboard or other material, is detachably mounted on the container bottom 2 for presentation or for easier filling of the container bottom part 2. The additional wall 5 also has a protective function.

FIG. 7 shows a side view and a sectional view of a container with a separate additional wall 5 formed as a separately manufactured circular body which, as shown in FIG. 7, is mounted on the container. For this purpose, an elastic is formed on the inner circumference of the additional wall 5.

• ·

a deformable flap 9 through which the annular body rests on the periphery of the container.

Giant. 8 is shown from the exemplary embodiments of the container bottom 1, on whose circumference the projections 10 are formed at certain intervals at the intervals of the flaps 9, the flaps 9 project into their interstices when the additional wall 5 is inserted. 5 and the lower part 1 of the container.

With the latching connection thus formed, it is possible to position the annular body of the additional wall 5 with respect to the container body, for example, so that its side surface 4 corresponds to the description on the container lid 2. This is sufficient if only a few protuberances 10 or ribs are formed on the periphery of the container.

The existence of a separate circular additional wall 5 which can be mounted on the container also has the advantage that different shapes of the additional wall 5 can be used for otherwise identical round containers 5. Different consumers can thus be supplied with containers of different shapes if they are different in different containers. circular bodies of various designs are used.
