Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Behältnis nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist eine zweiteilige Schachtel bekannt (DE-PS 17 61 384), die einen Bodenteil aus Kunststoff und einen von einer Deckelscheibe und einer Mantelwandung gebildeten Deckel aus Pappe aufweist. Die Mantelwandung des Deckels übergreift im Schließzustand eine Mantelwandung des Bodenteiles. Durch das Zusammenwirken der Elastizität des Kunststoffes.des Bodenteils mit der Dehnbarkeit des Pappmaterials des Deckels soll in ausreichendem Maße ein sicheres Schließen der Schachtel gewährleistet sein, und zwar im Vergleich zu Schachteln, bei denen sowohl der Bodenteil als auch der Deckelteil oder ein Deckelseitenring aus Kunststoff bestehen. Bei solchen Schachteln müßten die Teile außerordentlich exakt hergestellt sein bzw. hinsichtlich ihrer Durchmesser sehr genau aufeinander abgestimmt sein, um ein ausreichendes Schließen sicherzustellen. In der Praxis sei dies aber kaum zu erreichen.A two-part box is known (DE-PS 17 61 384), which has a base part made of plastic and a cardboard cover formed by a cover plate and a jacket wall. In the closed state, the jacket wall of the cover engages over a jacket wall of the base part. The interaction of the elasticity of the plastic part of the base part with the elasticity of the cardboard material of the lid is intended to ensure that the box is securely closed to a sufficient degree, in comparison to boxes in which both the base part and the lid part or a lid side ring are made of plastic consist. In such boxes, the parts would have to be manufactured extremely precisely or their diameters would have to be coordinated very precisely to ensure adequate closing. In practice, however, this can hardly be achieved.

Weiterhin ist gesagt worden, als Käseverpackung hätten insgesamt aus Kunststoff bestehende Schachteln den Nachteil, daß sie kein Atmen des Käses zuließen.Furthermore, it has been said that boxes made of plastic as a whole have the disadvantage that they do not allow the cheese to breathe.

Bei der bekannten Schachtel ist zur Erhöhung der Verschlußsicherheit vorgesehen, daß ein innerer Wulst am unteren Rand des Deckelmantels in eine Nut am Außenmantel des Bodenteiles einrastet.In the known box, in order to increase the security of the closure, it is provided that an inner bead at the lower edge of the cover shell engages in a groove on the outer shell of the base part.

Mit der Erfindung soll ein praktisch zu handhabendes Behältnis der eingangs genannten Art geschaffen werden, bei dem beide Teile aus Kunststoff bestehen und trotzdem ein leichtes und sicheres Verschließen des Behältnisses möglich ist, ohne daß dazu in der Herstellung außergewöhnliche Genauigkeitsanforderungen erfüllt werden müßten. Das Behältnis soll sich dabei ohne Schwierigkeiten auch so ausbilden lassen, daß eine Belüftung des Innenraumes gegeben ist, wenn dies im Hinblick auf das auszunehmende Gut erwünscht oder erforderlich ist. Die Erfindung strebt weiterhin eine zweckmäßige Gestaltung des Behältnisses auch in seinen Einzelheiten an. Weitere mit alledem zusammenhängende Probleme, mit denen sich die Erfindung befaßt, ergeben sich aus der jeweiligen Erläuterung der aufgezeigten Lösung.With the invention, a practical container of the type mentioned is to be created, in which both parts are made of plastic and yet an easy and safe closure of the container is possible without having to meet extraordinary accuracy requirements in the manufacture. The container should also be able to be designed without difficulty in such a way that there is ventilation of the interior if this is desired or necessary with regard to the material to be removed. The invention further strives for a practical design of the container in its details. Further problems connected with all of this, with which the invention is concerned, result from the respective explanation of the indicated solution.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, daß der Deckelteil einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, daß am Bord des Unterteils und am Umfangsbereich des Deckelteiles jeweils an regelmäßig über den Umfang verteilten Stellen einzelne ineinanderfügbare Rastelemente in Form von Vorsprüngen und Vertiefungen vorhanden sind und daß sich an einem der Teile in Richtung auf dessen Rastelemente hin verlaufende Führungsflächen für die Rastelemente des anderen Teiles befinden.The invention provides that the cover part is made in one piece from plastic, that on the lower part and on the circumferential area of the cover part in each case individually interlocking locking elements in the form of projections and depressions are present at locations regularly distributed over the circumference and that one of the parts are in the direction of the locking elements extending guide surfaces for the locking elements of the other part.

Damit ist ein Behältnis geschaffen worden, das sich ohne Schwierigkeiten herstellen läßt, sei es namentlich durch Tiefziehen oder durch Spritzgießen, und das bei leichter Handhabung einen sicheren Zusammenhalt von Unterteil und Deckelteil im geschlossenen Zustand gewährleistet. Die Führungsflächen sorgen dafür, daß beim Aufsetzen des Deckelteiles die zum Eingriff zu bringenden einzelnen Rastelemente zueinander bewegt und zum einwandfreien Eingriff gebracht werden.A container has thus been created which can be manufactured without difficulty, be it by deep drawing or injection molding, and which, with easy handling, ensures that the bottom part and lid part are held together securely in the closed state. The guide surfaces ensure that when the cover part is put on, the individual latching elements to be brought into engagement are moved towards one another and brought into perfect engagement.

Die Rastelemente sind vorteilhaft durch Ausformungen od.dgl. in der Wandung des betreffenden Teiles gebildet. Sie können eine runde oder rechteckige Grundform haben. Jedoch sind auch andere Ausbildungen nicht ausgeschlossen.The latching elements are advantageous or the like by forming. formed in the wall of the part in question. They can have a round or rectangular basic shape. However, other training courses are not excluded.

Die Führungsflächen sind zweckmäßig jeweils paarweise einem Rastelement zugeordnet und dabei so ausgebildet, daß sie auf dieses hin zusammenlaufen. Unabhängig davon, in welcher Winkelposition der Deckelteil aufgesetzt und nach unten bewegt wird, ergibt sich dabei stets ein sicheres Eingreifen der Rastelemente.The guide surfaces are expediently assigned in pairs to a locking element and are designed so that they converge towards this. Regardless of the angular position in which the cover part is placed and moved downward, the locking elements always engage securely.

Das Behältnis läßt sich so ausbilden, daß sein Innenraum gegenüber der Außenluft zumindest weitgehend dicht verschlossen ist. Andererseits ermöglicht es die Erfindung neben allen anderen Vorteilen aber auch, einen Luftaustausch zwischen innen und außen zuzulassen, wie es für bestimmte Produkte erwünscht ist, ohne daß die Gefahr eines Austretens des Inhalts besteht. Zu diesem Zweck sind insbesondere zwischen dem Unterteil und dem aufgesetzten Deckelteil Luftdurchlässe vorhanden.The container can be designed so that its interior is at least largely sealed from the outside air. On the other hand, besides all the other advantages, the invention also enables an air exchange between inside and outside, as is desired for certain products, without the risk of the content escaping. For this purpose, air passages are present in particular between the lower part and the attached cover part.

Der Deckelteil läßt sich im übrigen so gestalten, daß den unterschiedlichsten Bedarfsfällen genügt werden kann.The cover part can also be designed so that a wide variety of needs can be met.

Das in den Figuren 1 bis 4 gezeigte Behältnis weist einen Unterteil 1 und einen Deckelteil 2 auf. Beide Teile sind aus Kunststoff hergestellt, insbesondere durch Tiefziehen oder durch Spritzgießen. Der Kunststoff kann undurchsichtig, opak oder klar sein. Besonders praktisch ist eine Ausführung mit undurchsichtigem, namentlich weißen Unterteil und einem durchsichtigen oder durchscheinenden, den Inhalt erkennen lassenden Deckelteil. Das Behältnis ist vorteilhaft kreisrund ausgebildet.The container shown in Figures 1 to 4 has a lower part 1 and a lid part 2. Both parts are made of plastic, in particular by deep drawing or by injection molding. The plastic can be opaque, opaque, or clear. An opaque version is particularly practical in accordance with, in particular a white lower part and a transparent or translucent cover part that reveals the contents. The container is advantageously circular.

Der Unterteil 1 weist einen unteren Mantel 3 mit unterem Aufstandsrand 4, einen Boden 21 sowie einen insgesamt mit der Ziffer 5 bezeichneten Bord auf. Dieser ist gegenüber dem unteren Mantel 3 radial etwas nach innen zurückgesetzt (Stufe 5a) und wird von einem Umfangsbereich 6 des Deckelteiles 2 im Schließzustand des Behältnisses übergriffen.The lower part 1 has a lower jacket 3 with a lower riot edge 4, a bottom 21 and a board designated overall by the number 5. This is set back radially inwards relative to the lower casing 3 (step 5a) and is overlapped by a peripheral region 6 of the cover part 2 in the closed state of the container.

Am Bord 5 befinden sich an regelmäßig über den Umfang verteilten Stellen einzelne Rastelemente in Form von radial nach innen gerichteten Vertiefungen 7, die eine im wesentlichen runde Grundform haben und bei der Herstellung des Unterteils durch Ausformungen in der Wandung 8 desselben gebildet sind. In diese Vertiefungen 7 können radial nach innen gerichtete Vorsprünge 9 am Umfangsbereich 6 des Deckelteiles 2 rastend eingreifen, wie insbesondere Fig. 3 veranschaulicht. Beim Aufsetzen des Deckelteiles 2 auf den Unterteil 1 kann bis zum Erreichen dieses Rastzustandes und damit des verschlossenen Zustandes des Behältnisses ein elastisches Ausweichen oder Nachgeben der Wandung 8 des Bordes 5 bzw. auch des Deckelteiles stattfinden.On board 5 there are individual latching elements in the form of radially inwardly directed recesses 7, which have an essentially round basic shape and are formed in the manufacture of the lower part by means of moldings in the wall 8 of the same, at regularly distributed locations around the circumference. Radially inward projections 9 on the peripheral region 6 of the cover part 2 can engage in these recesses 7, as illustrated in particular in FIG. 3. When the cover part 2 is placed on the lower part 1, until this latching state and thus the closed state of the container is reached, the wall 8 of the rim 5 or the cover part can yield or yield.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführung ist der Deckelteil 2 in seinem Umfangsbereich 6 innenseitig mit in Richtung von Mantellinien verlaufenden Rippen 10 versehen, die als Verdickungen der Wandung oder besonders vorteilhaft als ausgeformte Partien der Wandung gebildet sein können. Diese Rippen verlaufen, wie die Zeichnung erkennen läßt, besonders vorteilhaft an den Stellen, an denen sich die Rastelemente, hier also die Vorsprünge 9 befinden. Die Rippen 10 können sich, wie in den Figuren 1 und 3 gezeigt, über die ganze Höhe des Umfangsbereiches 6 des Deckelteiles 2 erstrecken, oder aber auch nur über einen Teil dieser Höhe, insbesondere nur über eine etwa dem Bord 5 des Unterteils 1 entsprechende Höhe. Dies veranschaulicht Fig. 7, wo die Rippen des Deckelteiles 12 mit der Ziffer 10' bezeichnet sind. Unabhängig davon veranschaulicht Fig. 7 eine von zahlreichen möglichen anderen Formen des Deckelteiles. Der Deckelteil 12 hat hier eine abgesetzte Gestalt, derart, daß ein auf den Bord 5 des Unterteils 1 passender Umfangsteil 16 und darüber ein kappenartiger Teil 16' mit geringerem Durchmesser vorhanden ist.In the embodiment shown, the cover part 2 is provided on the inside in its peripheral region 6 with ribs 10 running in the direction of surface lines, which ribs can be formed as thickened portions of the wall or particularly advantageously as shaped parts of the wall. These ribs, as can be seen in the drawing, run particularly advantageously at the points at which the latching elements, here the projections 9 are located. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the ribs 10 can extend over the entire height of the peripheral region 6 of the cover part 2, or only over a part of this height, in particular only over a height corresponding approximately to the rim 5 of the lower part 1 . This is illustrated in FIG. 7, where the ribs of the cover part 12 are designated by the number 10 '. Regardless, Fig. 7 illustrates one of numerous other possible shapes of the lid member. The cover part 12 here has a stepped shape, such that a circumferential part 16 fitting onto the shelf 5 of the lower part 1 and above that a cap-like part 16 'with a smaller diameter is present.

Bei der Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 sind am Bord 5 des Unterteils 1 Führungsflächen 11 für die als Rastelemente dienenden Vorsprünge 9 des Deckelteiles 2 vorhanden. Diese Führungsflächen 11 verlaufen bei der gezeigten vorteilhaften Ausführung jeweils paarweise nach unten hin konvergierend auf jeweils eine Vertiefung 7 als Rastelement hin. Es ergeben sich dabei etwa dreieckförmige Bereiche 13 und 14, von denen die letzteren jeweils vertieft bzw. radial weiter nach innen liegen als die Bereiche 13, wobei die übergänge die Führungsflächen 11 bilden. Die weiter außenliegende Bereiche 13 haben abgerundete obere Kuppen.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, guide surfaces 11 are provided on board 5 of the lower part 1 for the projections 9 of the cover part 2 serving as locking elements. In the advantageous embodiment shown, these guide surfaces 11 each converge in pairs downward toward a respective recess 7 as a latching element. This results in approximately triangular regions 13 and 14, the latter of which are each recessed or radially further inward than regions 13, the transitions forming the guide surfaces 11. The areas 13 lying further outside have rounded upper tips.

Wenn der Deckelteil 2 auf den Unterteil 1 aufgesetzt wird, so werden die Vorsprünge 9 ungeachtet der Winkelposition des Deckelteiles beim Aufsetzen in jedem Fall zu den Vertiefungen 7 hin geleitet, und zwar durch die Führungsflächen 11. Damit ist ein leichtes und völlig unproblematisches Verschließen des Behältnisses ermöglicht, weil der Deckelteil immer in seine richtige .Position hineingeführt wird.When the lid part 2 is placed on the lower part 1, the projections 9 are guided regardless of the angular position of the lid part when putting on the recesses 7, namely through the guide surfaces 11. This is an easy and completely unproblematic closing of the container made possible because the cover part is always guided into its correct position.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel liegen im geschlossenem Zustand die Innenseiten der Rippen 10 in den Bereichen 14 an der Außenseite der Wandung 8 des Bordes 5, wie Fig. 3 erkennen läßt. Dies gewährleistet zusätzlich zu der Verriegelung durch die Rastelemente 7, 9 einen einwandfreien Sitz des Deckelteiles 2 auf dem Unterteil 1. Die zwischen den Rippen 10 liegenden Partien des Umfangsbereiches 6 des Deckelteiles 2 können innenseitig satt an den Außenflächen der erhabenen dreieckförmigen Bereiche 13 des Bordes 5 anliegen. Weil zugleich auch ein unterer Rand 6a des Umfangsbereiches 6 auf der Stufe 5a zwischen dem Mantel 3 und dem Bord 5 des Unterteils 1 aufliegt, ggfs. unter einer im Eingriffszustand der Rastelemente 7, 9 bei entsprechender Bemessung erzielten Vorspannung oder einem Andruck, läßt sich im Bedarfsfall eine dichte Ausbildung des Behältnisses erreichen.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the inside of the ribs 10 lie in the regions 14 on the outside of the wall 8 of the rim 5 in the closed state, as can be seen in FIG. 3. In addition to the locking by means of the latching elements 7, 9, this ensures that the cover part 2 sits properly on the lower part 1. The parts of the peripheral region 6 of the cover part 2 lying between the ribs 10 can be filled inside on the outer surfaces of the raised triangular regions 13 of the rim 5 issue. Because at the same time a lower edge 6a of the peripheral region 6 rests on the step 5a between the jacket 3 and the rim 5 of the lower part 1, if necessary under a pre-tensioning or a pressure achieved in the engaged state of the latching elements 7, 9 with appropriate dimensioning, can be in If necessary, achieve a tight design of the container.

Andererseits kann vorteilhaft auch eine Belüftung des Innenraumes des Behältnisses vorgesehen werden. Eine günstige Möglichkeit hierfür besteht darin, daß zwischen den Außenflächen der erhabenen Bereiche 13 des Bordes 5 und den zugeordneten Partien des Umfangsbereiches 6 des Deckelteiles 2 zumindest stellenweise ein geringer Zwischenraum 19 belassen ist, der dann mit dem Inneren des Behältnisses in Verbindung steht und zu dem gleichzeitig auch ein Luftweg von außen her führt. Dies läßt sich auf verschiedene Weise erreichen, z.B. durch Ausnehmungen oder Öffnungen im Umfangsbereich 6 des Deckelteiles bzw. am unteren Rand 6a desselben. Bei der gezeigten vorteilhaften Ausführung sind am unteren Mantel 3 des Unterteils 1 Einbuchtungen 15 von solcher Form und Größe vorgesehen, daß über diese eine Luftverbindung an der Stelle 20 mit dem Zwischenraum 19 und dadurch mit dem Innenraum des Behältnisses gegeben ist.On the other hand, ventilation of the interior of the container can advantageously also be provided. A favorable possibility for this is that, at least in places, a small space 19 is left between the outer surfaces of the raised areas 13 of the rim 5 and the assigned parts of the peripheral area 6 of the lid part 2, which is then connected to the inside of the container and to which at the same time, an airway leads from the outside. This can be achieved in various ways, for example through recesses or openings in the peripheral region 6 of the cover part or at the lower edge 6a thereof. In the advantageous embodiment shown, indentations 15 of such a shape and size are provided on the lower casing 3 of the lower part 1 that an air connection at point 20 is provided therewith the space 19 and thus with the interior of the container.

Es ist weiterhin auch möglich, Luftdurchlässe im Bereich bzw. in der Umgebung der Rastelemente 7, 9 vorzusehen, ggfs. auch in Verbindung mit Einbuchtungen 15 von entsprechender Länge und Anordnung.It is also possible to provide air passages in the area or in the vicinity of the latching elements 7, 9, possibly also in connection with indentations 15 of appropriate length and arrangement.

Ungeachtet einer Funktion als Luftwege können die Einbuchtungen 15 vorteilhaft einem Fingerangriff beim öffnen des Behältnisses dienen. Auch läßt sich der Unterteil 1 mit einer Grifflasche 17 od.dgl. versehen, wie sie strichpunktiert in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist.Irrespective of a function as an airway, the indentations 15 can advantageously serve as a finger attack when opening the container. Also, the lower part 1 or the like with a grip tab 17. provided, as is indicated by dash-dotted lines in Fig. 2.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen eine abgewandelte Ausführung. Diese unterscheidet sich von derjenigen nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 dadurch, daß in den vertieft liegenden Bordteilen 14 jeweils eine Abstufung 18 vorhanden ist, wobei ein unterer, radial weiter nach außen vorstehender Bereich 14a beispielsweise hinsichtlich der Lage der Außenseite seiner Wandung derjenigen nach Fig. 3 entsprechen kann. Eine Ausführung mit einer solchen Abstufung kann in verschiedener Hinsicht von Vorteil sein, u.a. auch zur zusätzlichen Erhöhung der Stabilität.Figures 5 and 6 show a modified version. This differs from that according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in that there is a gradation 18 in each of the recessed board parts 14, a lower region 14a projecting radially further outward, for example with regard to the position of the outside of its wall, to that according to FIG. 3 can correspond. Execution with such a gradation can be advantageous in various ways, including also for an additional increase in stability.

In Fig. 8 ist in Teilansicht ein Deckelteil 22 gezeigt, der in seinem Kopfbereich eine Profilierung 23 aufweist, deren einzelne Profilelemente 24 im Querschnitt dachförmig sind und von der Mitte aus unter Erweiterung radial nach außen verlaufen, wo sie in einem zylindrischen Umfangsbereich 26 enden. Die Teilung der Profilierung, d.h. die Wiederholung der einzelnen Profilelemente 24, ist gleich der Teilung t der Rastelemente 7 bzw. 9. Eine solche Ausführung bietet nicht nur ein ansprechendes Bild, sondern ermöglicht auch die Unterbringung eines Gegenstandes, der eine profilierte Oberfläche hat, z.B. eines Gebäckstückes, eines Eisdesserts od.dgl., ohne daß die Gefahr einer Beschädigung beim Aufsetzen des Deckelteiles besteht. Natürlich kann die Profilierung auch anders als in Fig. 8 gestaltet sein und sich nach dem jeweiligen Bedarfsfall richten.8 shows a partial view of a cover part 22, which has a profiling 23 in its head region, the individual profile elements 24 of which are roof-shaped in cross section and extend radially outwards from the center, where they end in a cylindrical peripheral region 26. The division of the profiling, ie the repetition of the individual profile elements 24, is equal to the division t of the rest elements 7 and 9. Such an embodiment not only offers an appealing image, but also enables the accommodation of an object that has a profiled surface, such as a biscuit, an ice cream dessert or the like, without the risk of damage when putting the Cover part exists. Of course, the profiling can also be designed differently than in Fig. 8 and depend on the respective need.

Bei den erläuterten Ausbildungen des Behältnisses sind als Rastelemente Vorsprünge 9 am Deckelteil und Vertiefungen 7 am Unterteil vorgesehen. Dies Ausbildung läßt sich aber auch umgekehrt treffen, derart, daß sich Vorsprünge am Unterteil und entsprechende Vertiefungen zur Aufnahme derselben am Deckelteil befinden.In the embodiments of the container explained, projections 9 on the cover part and depressions 7 on the lower part are provided as latching elements. This training can also be done in reverse, such that there are projections on the lower part and corresponding recesses for receiving the same on the cover part.

Alle in der vorstehenden Beschreibung erwähnten bzw. in der Zeichnung dargestellten Merkmale sollen, sofern der bekannte Stand der Technik es zuläßt, für sich allein oder auch in Kombinationen als unter die Erfindung fallend angesehen werden.All of the features mentioned in the above description or shown in the drawing, if the known prior art permits, should be regarded as falling within the scope of the invention on their own or in combinations.
