Description

The invention relates to a container with lid according to the preamble of claim 1.

Generic containers are used for storage of a variety of products, especially food. For example, such products may be partially in a solid state and / or a liquid state. For example, such a product may be potato salad, which has solid as well as liquid components. Generic containers, in some embodiments, are generally suitable for storing liquid products and are then designed so that liquid products can be safely stored in the container without leaking out of the container when it is placed with its underside on a horizontal base. In some embodiments, generic containers have holes for venting products, such as vegetable products. The underside generic container is usually formed by a horizontally extending container bottom. Starting from the container bottom, a side wall extends vertically upwards over a side wall height. With its horizontal inner side, the side wall encloses, over its side wall height, an interior space of the container which is suitable for receiving products. The side wall limits the interior of this directly, so that a product that is filled in the interior, is applied directly to the side wall. The side wall forms at its upper end a container opening through which a product can be filled into the interior. The side wall runs continuously from the container bottom to the container opening, so that a product is reliably stored in the interior. In a container which is suitable for storing liquid products, the side wall is particularly preferably in each vertical position from the container bottom to the container opening continuously horizontally encircling the interior. In a container which is not suitable for storage of liquid products, for example, the side wall and / or the container bottom ventilation holes, in each case, the side wall also extends around the ventilation holes uninterrupted from the container bottom to the container opening. The side wall has at its upper end on a latching device which is formed corresponding to a locking device provided on a lid. The container comprises this cover, and the lid is held captive in an operating position by the interaction of locking device and latching device on the side wall and closes in the operating position, the container opening. The lid is also detachable from the operating position of the side wall. For this purpose, latching device and latching device are formed corresponding to each other correspondingly. The lid can thus be placed after filling the interior of the container on the upper end of the side wall and be connected captive with her and released for removal of the product from the interior of the side wall.

Generic containers are provided as packaging containers for consumer products with a series production in large quantities. Therefore, the requirements of generic containers are made that on the one hand have sufficient strength to withstand an automatic filling process and to withstand multiple attachment and detachment of the lid on the side wall, and on the other to prevent inadvertent release of the lid from the side wall, For example, when the container is transported with filled product and is placed on shelves and is removed from these by buyers. In the prior art, these requirements are usually met by a significant stiffening of the container takes place at the top of the side wall, on which the side wall forms the container opening. Usually, for this purpose, the side wall extends from the container bottom vertically upwards to the container opening and is then curved horizontally outwards to form a circumferential skirt, which forms the outside of the container in the upper region of the vertical extent of the side wall. This circumferential skirt is then usually connected to horizontally extending webs with side wall portions which limit the interior of the container immediately. Such apron with stabilizing webs ensures a sufficient rigidity of the container at the level of the container opening. In addition, the side wall is usually formed so that it has the latching device at its upper end and the skirt extends outwardly from the latching device outside the interior space. In the operating position, in which the lid is held firmly by its locking device on the latching device, the skirt thus extends below the lid and can thereby ensure effective protection against accidental release of the lid from the side wall. Typically, a detachable plastic element is provided in a portion of the skirt which can be broken by a user, which then allows easier access to the lid and the lid can be detached from the side wall.

However, generic containers have the disadvantage that for the production of the apron, a considerable amount of material is required on plastic. This requires for a higher On the other hand, because of the consumption of plastic ecologically harmful. There is thus a need for containers that still provide sufficient functionality with the saving of plastic material to meet the requirements of the generic container requirements.

The present invention has for its object to provide a container with which at least one of the described problems generic container can be solved.

As a solution to the problem underlying the invention, the invention proposes a container having the features of claim 1. The container according to the invention is suitable for storing products, in particular liquid products, and has a horizontally extending container bottom and a side wall extending vertically away from the container bottom over a side wall height. The side wall encloses with its horizontal inside an interior of the container over its side wall height horizontally and immediately limits the interior and has with its horizontal outside of the interior away. Preferably, the side wall extends vertically uninterrupted, d. H. continuously over its sidewall height. Preferably, the side wall encloses the interior horizontally at each vertical position between the container bottom and its upper end continuously. Preferably, the side wall is integrally formed. At its upper end, the side wall forms a container opening and a latching device. The latching device is preferably provided in a vertical end region of the side wall, which extends from below the absolute vertical upper end over less than 5%, in particular less than 3% of the side wall height downwards. The latching device may be formed for example as a latching projection, which is provided on the inside or on the outside of the side wall. Preferably, the latching device runs closed around the container opening. The container according to the invention further comprises a lid. The lid has a latching device corresponding to the latching device. For example, the lid may have a lid bottom and a cover side wall extending vertically away from the lid base, wherein the latching device may be provided on the inside of the side wall. Particularly preferably, the latching device is designed as a latching projection corresponding to the latching device, which is provided on the inside of the lid side wall. In an operating position, the lid is captively and releasably held by the interaction of latching device and latching device on the side wall and closes in the operating position, the container opening. By the lid closes the container opening, it prevents mechanical access from the outside into the interior of the container. In one embodiment, latching device and latching device are designed so that they ensure a liquid-tight connection between the lid and side wall in the operating position. In such an embodiment, the latching device engages behind the latching device preferably such that the latching device horizontally pressed circumferentially pressed against the latching device both from above and from below. In another embodiment, locking device and locking device are formed so that they do not ensure a liquid-tight connection between the cover and side wall in the operating position, however, a reliable mechanical support of the lid on the side wall. Generally preferred, the container further comprises a film which is welded to the top of the side wall with it and closes the container opening liquid-tight. In this case, the lid can serve a mechanical protection of the film. According to the invention, a flange is provided on the horizontal outer side of the side wall which is vertically spaced by at least 5%, in particular at least 10% of the side wall height from the upper end of the side wall and at least 50% of the side wall height is spaced from the container bottom. According to the invention, the container bottom and the side wall are formed by a one-piece plastic element having a closed planar extension, which comprises the container bottom and extending from the container bottom vertically upwards and ends at the upper end of the side wall. The container according to the invention may have further features, which are explained in the present case in connection with generic containers. The terms "top" and "bottom" refer to a directional indication along the vertical.

The container according to the invention brings significant advantages compared to generic containers with it. By the container having a one-piece plastic element having a closed planar extension, which comprises the container bottom and extending from the container bottom upwards and ends at the upper end of the side wall, the container according to the invention dispenses with the formation of a horizontally encircling skirt around the interior which extends from the upper end of the side wall outside the interior of the container and horizontally offset to a side wall portion which defines the interior of the container immediately. In this way, a substantial saving of material can be achieved, because only to the container opening, the side wall extends so that it encloses the interior. By simultaneously providing a flange from the top the side wall is spaced, on the one hand, a sufficient stability of the container in an upper region of the side wall can be guaranteed, which is particularly stressed in the intended use of a container according to the invention, and on the other hand, by the flange in a particularly preferred embodiment, a protection of the lid be ensured before accidental detachment from the side wall. For this purpose, the flange particularly preferably has a horizontal extent, which extends beyond the horizontal extent of the lid. Accordingly, the flange can ensure that the lid will not be stripped off when an item is guided up the outside of the side wall of the container. Particularly preferably, the flange can also serve as a holder in a perforated plate, in which a container is held during an automatic filling. Particularly preferably, the flange runs with its underside continuously in a horizontal plane.

In one embodiment, in any vertical position within a vertical sidewall portion extending downwardly from the latch for at least 5%, more preferably at least 10% of the sidewall height, the sidewall forms the absolute, horizontal circumferential horizontal extension end of the container and extends between its inside bounding the inner space and its absolute horizontal extension end forming outer side with an extension length of less than 7 mm, in particular less than 5 mm, in particular less than 3 mm, preferably extending uninterruptedly over this extension length. In one embodiment, in each vertical position of said vertical sidewall section, the sidewall subtends at least 30%, and in particular at least 50% of the horizontal circumference, the absolute, horizontal circumferential horizontal end of the container and extends between its interior bounding interior and its absolute horizontal extension end forming outer side with an extension length of less than 5 mm. This is particularly preferred over the entire circumference, d. H. over the complete horizontal course of the side wall around the interior. By the side wall forming both the absolute horizontal extension end and the inner space immediately limited and has only the said horizontal extension length or wall thickness, it is ensured that the container according to the invention is produced with the lowest possible cost of materials. Generally, it should be noted at this point that the vertical lower end of the latching device is defined by the end of the vertical portion, in which the latching device causes a vertical fixation of the lid to the side wall to form a positive connection in the operating position with the latching device. In general, it can be provided that the vertical extent of the latching device is limited to a vertical range, which is between the absolute upper end of the side wall and starting therefrom, a vertical extent of less than 2% of the side wall height.

In one embodiment, the container has a horizontal outer periphery which decreases downwardly along the vertical from the latching device. In this case, preference is given to the vertically lower end of the latching device. By reducing the outer circumference can be ensured that the container with the lowest possible cost of materials has the largest possible container opening and that, moreover, the highest possible stability of the side wall is ensured in its upper end. In addition, this may favor the mold release in the injection molding process and the stackability of containers.

Particularly preferably, the flange is a horizontal extension, starting from the outside of the side wall, which is between 3 mm and 20 mm, in particular between 5 mm and 15 mm. This is particularly preferred for the flange over its entire horizontal extent extending around the side wall extension.

In one embodiment, the side wall has a second side wall portion which is disposed below the latching device and above the first vertical side wall portion and which is formed in the manner of a truncated cone with a second opening angle, wherein the first opening angle is smaller than the second opening angle and in particular the first Sidewall section directly into the second Sidewall section passes. Particularly preferably, in this embodiment, the second side wall portion extending from the lower end of the latching device, of course, the second side wall portion may extend to the absolute vertical upper end of the side wall and the latching device may be formed within the vertical extent of the second side wall portion. The provision of at least one side wall section, which is designed in the manner of a truncated cone, has proven to be particularly advantageous both for the filling of the container and for its manufacture. The provision of two different side wall portions, each of which is truncated-cone-shaped and the upper one has a larger opening angle than the lower one, has proved to be particularly advantageous for providing a large container opening. The direct overlapping of these two side wall sections has proved to be particularly advantageous for the stability of the container or its side wall.

In one embodiment, the flange at two opposite in a horizontal direction sides of the side wall in each case a thickening on which a holding axis is fixed, wherein on the holding axis, a bow-like carrying handle is fixed, which is pivotable about an axis defined by the axis of rotation axis of rotation. The thickening may be formed as a vertical thickening. For example, the thickening itself can form the holding axis. For example, the thickening may have a recess into which a holding axis can be inserted. For example, the holding axis can be rotated about the axis of rotation relative to the carrying handle. For example, the holding axis may be rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the flange and thus to the side wall and in particular fixed and rotatable relative to the headband to be connected thereto. By providing a thickening in the flange itself, d. H. the intertwining of the thickening in the flange, the stability of the container, in particular when carrying the container by means of the carrying handle, may be particularly favored.

In one embodiment, the outside of the side wall and in particular the inside of the side wall is smooth over at least 70%, in particular over at least 80%, in particular over 100% of the vertical extension of a vertical section extending upwards from the flange to the latching device and thus formed without the formation of stiffening ribs. In one embodiment, the side wall in a particular vertical side wall portion between locking means and flange along the vertical extending stiffening ribs. The stiffening ribs can be formed, for example, by increasing the wall thickness of the side wall in sections and / or by providing profilings in the side wall, wherein, when providing profilings, the wall thickness of the side wall is preferred, ie. H. the thickness of the plastic element perpendicular to its planar extent within the particular vertical sidewall portion is substantially constant, d. H. varies by less than 10%. Particularly preferably, the stiffening ribs extend from the flange and are integrally connected to the flange. As a result, a particularly good stability can be ensured. In one embodiment, at least some of the stiffening ribs, in particular a majority of the stiffening ribs, run parallel to the vertical. In one embodiment, at least some of the stiffening ribs, in particular a majority of the stiffening ribs run obliquely to the vertical, wherein such inclined stiffening ribs may in particular intersect to form a ribbed pattern in the particular vertical sidewall portion. In one embodiment, further, horizontally extending stiffening ribs are provided which intersect with the stiffening ribs extending along the vertical to form a reinforcing rib network. Of course, the further stiffening ribs also run within the specific vertical side wall portion. The embodiments mentioned for configuring the stiffening ribs or for providing further stiffening ribs can, of course, be combined with each other.

In one embodiment, the side wall has an alignment cam which is formed by a profiling of the side wall, through which a first profile part on the inside of the side wall and a second profile part on the outside of the side wall are formed. For example, both profile parts may be at least partially formed as a projection of the respective side. For example, the first profile part may be formed as a recess and the second profile part as a projection. First and second profile part can be formed by the profiling so that they are located at the same vertical height of the side wall. In another embodiment, the profiling may comprise two vertically offset profiling sections, one of which forms the first profiled part and another forms the second profiled part. In this case, preferably, the first and second profile part and the geometric configuration of the side wall are formed to correspond to each other so that two identically designed container in an operating position in which their lid are detached from the side walls and removed, can be inserted into each other so that the second profile part the outside of the upper container in the first profile part on the inside of the side wall of the lower container is arranged to prevent rotation of the container or its side walls to each other about the vertical. Such an alignment cam can generally be particularly advantageous for the filling process of containers according to the invention, since the containers can be obtained in an automatic filling device with a specific orientation with respect to a rotation about the vertical by providing a recess corresponding to the second profile part in this filling device is. Particularly preferably, the first and / or the second profile part, in particular the entire profiling, formed in the manner of a V, the tip of which points downward. As a result, the intermeshing of profiles of two vertically nested containers or their side walls can be particularly favored. Particularly preferably, the side wall has two alignment cams, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the side wall in a horizontal direction. In this way, a reliable alignment of the side wall of the container in a designated environment, for example in a filling system, be particularly favored.

Particularly preferably, the top of the lid extends over at least 95% of its horizontal extent flat. More preferably, the top of the lid vertically varies by at least 99% of its total areal horizontal extent by less than 3 mm around the mean vertical distance of the top from the container floor. The upper side is thus substantially planar in the described embodiment and has no significant profiling along the vertical. This embodiment turns away from the design of lids in generic containers. In such covers usually a dome is formed, which should simplify the stacking of containers to each other. In the described embodiment, however, the idea underlying the invention is pursued a maximum possible material savings. The inventive concept is based on the finding that in most environments of use of the container according to the invention the provision of a corresponding profiling is no longer necessary today, since an orientation of the container can be achieved in other ways than by profiling the lid. Accordingly, the inventors have recognized that at the same time a substantial material saving can be achieved by the substantially planar design of the lid base and a sufficient functionality of the container can be ensured.

In one embodiment, the plastic element that forms the container bottom and the side wall, and the lid, particularly preferably the headband and the holding axis, each made as a one-piece plastic injection molded part. In one embodiment, the container comprises a film which is welded to the side wall at the upper end of the side wall and closes the container opening in a fluid-tight, in particular liquid-tight, manner. In the operating position, the lid base is preferably arranged above the film and thus protects the film against mechanical stress. The provision of a film can easily allow a simplified realization of locking device and corresponding locking device. In particular, the film may serve the purpose of a conventionally provided tamper-evident closure, the container preferably having no such tamper-evident closure.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to four figures with reference to embodiments.
