Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a generally cone-­shaped container the features of which ensure the airtight sealing and inviolability of the containers until it is used for the first time.
  • This new container has been devised so as to be preferably manufactured in plastic material, thereby benefiting from the qualities of this material, namely that of being easily manufactured, with perfect finishing, at low manufacturing costs, etc.
  • the container comprises a body and a lid designed so as to ensure the airtight sealing and inviolability thereof until it is first used.
  • a frusto-­conical or conical container comprising a body and a lid, the body and the lid having rims which interengage to seal the container, and wherein either the lid or the body comprises a detachable peripheral strip which prevents the lid from being inadvertently disengaged from the body.
  • the container comprises a cone-shaped body (1) and a lid (2).
  • Both body (1) and lid (2) have rims identified by, respectively, numerals (3) and (4), the particular shape of which ensures an air-­ tight sealing as well as the inviolability of the container before it is first used.
  • the upper part of the body (1) is curved and has a rim which is generally designated by (3). It extends downwards forming a vertical skirt.
  • This vertical skirt (10) is provided with a ledge (15) which ensures an effective fitting, as well as with two ribs (16).
  • the lid has a rim which is generally designated by (4) as well as a curved area in generally semi-circular shape (8) which covers part (5) of the rim (3) of the body (1).
  • This curved area (8) extends down­wards by means of a skirt (11) forming a step (12) which fits on the ledge (15) of the body (1), and is continued by a detachable strip (14) ensuring the inviolability of the container until used for the first time.
  • the strip (14) is separated from the downward skirt (11) by means of a weakened area (13).
  • the detachable strip (14) remains attached to the body (1) by fitting on the two ribs (16).
  • the two ribs (16) keep the detachable strip (14) stretched and correctly fixed.
  • a ring (6) may also be seen acting as a handle for helping the tearing off of the detachable strip (14) around the periphery of the containers.
  • the detachable strip (14) only after removing the detachable strip (14) may one exert the necessary force on the skirt (11), which serves as a means for releasing the step (12), in order to loosen the fitting. Any effort exerted on the strip (14) tears it off from the body, the inviolability of the container being thereby ensured until it is first used.
  • Fig. 4 shows another preferred embodiment of the present container.
  • a detachable strip (14) of the body (1) extending upwards, covers the skirt (11) of the rim (4) of the lid (2).
  • the body (1) has an upper rim (3) with a curved shape (5) corresponding approximately to a semi-circle.
  • an outer rim (17) is formed which curves so as to run vertically, extending upwards by means of a detachable strip (14).
  • This outer rim covers the skirt (11) of the lid's rim.
  • the detachable strip (14) is attached to the outer rim (17) by means of a weakened area (13).
  • the strip (14) may also be provided with a handle to help it be torn off (not shown).
  • the lid (2) which has a rim generally designated by (4) has a curved area (8) the shape of which corresponds to a semi-circle and which covers the rim (3) of the body (1).
  • This area (8) extends downwards on the inner side of the container by means of a vertical section (9) following the wall of the body (1) and on the outer side by means of a skirt (11).
  • This skirt (11) forms on the inner side, in the place where it joins the curved area (8), a step (12) which is adequate for ensuring the fitting of both parts under a certain pressure.
  • the shape of the downward skirt (11) is such that it enables it to be inserted between the wall of the body (1) and the upward detachable strip (14) the inviolability of the container until used for the first time being thereby ensured.
  • the container may only be opened by lifting the lid (2) after removing the detachable strip (14) and manipulating the downward skirt (11) of the lid (2).
