Definitions

  • the present invention is a solution to this very particular problem but can, of course, be applied to other cases.
  • the present invention further relates to a container which is particularly well suited for its use for liquids to be transferred when emptying the container into another container provided with a narrow opening and requiring the presence of a spout or '' an ad hoc utensil such as a funnel.
  • a container in accordance with the invention applies to hydrocarbons such as fuels and lubricants.
  • the container according to the invention is of the type sold pre-filled, which gives the user the advantage of avoiding any soiling during filling, since this filling is carried out in the factory.
  • the container When it is empty and not reused, the container is thrown away and, when it contains fuel, it is not returned to a vehicle trunk which it could dirty.
  • the invention relates to a portable container of the pre-filled type, in particular for hydrocarbons, characterized in that it consists of a single piece which is advantageously made of synthetic material and which is composed of a body hollow and of an equally hollow grip handle communicating by its soft ends with the body in two places distant from each other, the body having a filling orifice closed by a seal sealed after the first filling of the container, this one having to be opened by definitive rupture of the handle to create, by this single operation, at the same time an orifice for emptying the contents of the container and an air inlet orifice, corresponding respectively to the two parts of the rup_ ture .
  • a conforming container to the invention of the non-reusable type comprises a body 1 that is substantially parallelepipedal, at least one of the large faces of which is provided with a stiffening rib.
  • a stiffening rib is provided with only the face 2 .
  • the small upper face 4 is inclined from top to bottom towards the face 2 and is integral in one piece with the ends 5a and 5b of a hollow handle 5, these ends 5a and 5b being located in the corners of the face 4, so that the handle 5 and ex - trémity fit exactly within the contour of the body 1 to form no asperity.
  • the handle 5 proper and its ends connected to the face 4 are therefore exactly in the plane on the one hand of the small faces 6 and 7 and on the other hand of the large face 8 opposite to the face 2, as is particularly visible in figure 3.
  • the body 1 is hollow and here the handle 5 is also so so that the above arrangement is provided in such a way that the interior faces of the body 1 on the one hand and the handle 5 on the other hand are exactly in the extension of one another.
  • ends 5a and 5b of the handle 5 end in end pieces 10 and 11 and there is provided on each of them a circular groove 1 2 and 13 respectively.
  • the synthetic material with which the body 1 and the handle 5 are formed in a single piece is relatively rigid but nevertheless has a more or less elastic deformability so that the rupture of the handle 5 in order to release a emptying opening cannot be practical. not be done by breaking.
  • the entire container is formed: body 1 and handle 5, in one piece for example by forming-blowing a synthetic material by making a hole on the face 16 of the body 1 which is opposite to the face 4 (FIG. 2 ).
  • the container is kept under an automatic filling machine by presenting its face 16 upwards so that the filling tubes can be located above the hole in face 16.
  • the sealing of the cover 17 can be achieved by any known means and, in particular, like the liquefied gas tanks of lighters, by welding obtained by causing a strong rotation of the cover relative to the edges of the filling orifice.
  • the user can buy one or more containers to keep them as a precaution, in the event of a fuel shortage, for example in an automobile, in the boiler room of a dwelling or on a boat etc.
  • the container is completely airtight and a synthetic material has been chosen to constitute it, preventing any seepage such as high density polyethylene.
  • the container always remains perfectly clean and does not allow the release of any odor.
  • the container When the filling opening A is not very accessible, which is often the case through which one must pour oil into the crankcase of an engine, the container can also be used upside down with respect to the position which it occupies in FIG. 2, that is to say that the handle serves as a conduit and that the contents of the container flow through the unsawn endpiece 10, through the end 5 a, through the handle 5 and through the end 5b placed opposite the orifice A. The air then enters the body by borrowing the sawed end piece 11 situated at a level higher than that of the end piece 10.
  • one end of the handle 5 is cut, the body 1 is grasped with one hand, the open end is placed in the desired location (end 11 in the pipe A, Figure 2) in dismissing the handle 5 by elastic twisting with the other hand: no liquid comes out through the cut end of the handle which, on the contrary, serves as an air inlet, the liquid flowing perfectly and smoothly through the nozzle 11 located below.
  • the container When the filling opening A is not very accessible, which is often the case through which one must pour oil into the crankcase of an engine, the container can also be used upside down with respect to the position it occupies in FIG. 2, that is to say that the handle serves as a conduit and that the content of the container flows through the unsawed endpiece 10, through the end 5a, through the handle 5 and by the end 5b placed opposite the orifice A. The air then enters the body by borrowing the sawn end piece 11. situated at a level higher than that of the end piece 10.
  • Two grooves 12 and 13 respectively have been provided in order to allow the user to choose, at the time of use, to saw the handle 5 either on one side or on the other, or even on both sides.
  • the emptying takes place through the orifice 10 kept lower. If it saws the handle 5 on the side of the groove 13, the emptying is done through the orifice 11 maintained more down, unlike the previous case. This latitude allows the user to choose one or the other of these solutions according to the accessibility of the filling port of the tank of his vehicle.
  • the container according to the invention is of particularly practical use since it can be placed flat in a position of perfect stability and that 'it can be easily carried by its handle 5, without fear of getting dirty since the container always remains clean unless, well coated, it has been soiled externally, which is an anecdotal possibility independent of the advantages of the invention .
  • the fact that the container is flat allows the user to hold the body 1 with one hand during emptying.
  • a container according to the invention made of synthetic material such as high density polyethylene is particularly well suited to the conditions of navigation because the synthetic tnatiè res resist very well to the attacks of sea water and Ocean air.
  • the density of the entire container and its fuel content is around 0.9 (the density of seawater varies from region to region but is always slightly more than 1) , so that the full container floats instead of sinking like a metal container would.
  • the location of the blade 14 on the face 4 and under the handle 5 is particularly advantageous for protecting this blade 14 and preventing it from being accidentally separated from the container because the handle 5 constitutes protection against awkward gestures which are directed upwards from the face 4.
  • the handle 20 comprises a portion provided with rings constituting a bellows 21 with which it can easily be deformed without risk of breakage.
  • the bellows 21 is formed in a re-straight portion of the handle 20 which is close to the body 1.
  • the other end of the handle 1 constitutes a tip 22 which is connected to a part 23 of the body 1.
  • the tip 22 is determined by a breaking point 24.
  • the handle 20 therefore has a bend 25.
  • the handle 20 is in a median plane of the body 1 and no longer in the plane of a large face (8 in the case of FIGS. 1 to 3).
  • FIG. 5 it can be seen that in order to empty the contents of the container 1, the handle 20 is cut (preferably by means of the saw 14) in line with the breaking point 24, then the handle 20 is deformed, which, thanks to the high elasticity of the bellows 21, can be arched as much as is necessary to adapt to all conditions, even without tilting the container, in order to leave the end piece 22 the possibility of playing its role of orifice air inlet.
  • part 23 has a flat outer face 26, opposite the face 27 on which the filling orifice 17 is located.
  • the width L of the part 23 is here equal to that of the body 1. It could be different but advantageously sufficient to provide the container with good stability when it is placed on a plane P3 by this face 26.
  • the handle 20 is rectilinear from the elbow 25 to the part 23 and its outermost part is aligned with the face 26.
  • this outermost part is a generator.
  • the rectilinear part of the handle 20 has a flat 28. The search for this stability is dictated by the desire to facilitate the automatic filling of the container, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the container must be easily moved on the plane P3 from an arrival position to an evacuation station, passing under a filling nozzle B. This movement takes place automatically between lateral guides (not shown) of a Automatic machine.
  • the container must, consequently, remain stable by presenting its face 27 and its filling orifice 17 upwards.
  • the elasticity of the bellows 21 is such that the handle 20 can be deformed several times without disadvantage.
  • the container is associated with an elastic sleeve 30 whose internal diameter is calculated to allow its easy engagement on the end piece 21 and on the end 29 of the handle 20, as shown in FIG. 6, the sleeve 30 being shown in section.
  • two rings 31 are provided which form reliefs except at the level of the upper part of the end piece 22 which presents a flat 32 aligned with the face 26 and the flat 28, in order to properly retain the sleeve. 30 by friction.
  • the end 29, for its part, has no relief, so that after fitting the sleeve 30, on the end piece 22, the end 29 can easily be engaged in the sleeve 30 and removed therefrom.
  • FIG. 8 a variant is shown according to which the handle 20 has an oblong section which gives it great resistance to the forces which are applied to it when it is deformed.
  • the body 1 has an oblique face that 35 which extends from the base of the part 23 to the face 36 perpendicular to the bottom 27. There is therefore no longer, here, a face 37 paxa loop on the face 26.
  • the bellows 21 is always rectilinear and perpen dicular to the face of the body 1 to which it is attached, that is to say in this case to the oblique face 35.
  • an elbow 38 is provided whose angle is acute and no longer straight as is the elbow 25 in Figures 4 to 6.
  • elbow 38 robust, is located beyond the contour of the bellows 21 and protects it from impact, for example if the container falls, because in such a case the most exposed parts are the face 36 and the elbow 38 which, moreover, are aligned.
  • Another advantage of this embodiment is to give the conduit formed by the handle 20 in use a natural angle conducive to the good flow of the liquid that the container contains.
  • the envelope 40 a complex adapted to the nature of the liquid and to the material of the container to obtain a barrier effect. It may, for example, be a polyethylene-polyamide-polyethylene complex which is a film with an oxygen barrier effect. It is also possible to provide a film with a barrier effect against the vapors of the product that the container contains or a complex comprising an aluminum film with a reflective effect, etc.
  • a container in accordance with the invention can be used for all kinds of products, including food, liquids, powders, etc. It is particularly well suited to products to be protected such as, for example, sterilized products to be consumed at one time, by a single emptying of the container (drinking water, milk, serums, pharmaceuticals or hygian etc.) .).
