Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rigid container made of several elements, external equipped with an internal addition for the packaging of liquids.
  • bottles used with this type of container are generally of volume greater than the internal volume of the container. This results in the formation of false folds which constitute pockets for retaining liquid or air. Due to the above, these containers can never be completely emptied of their contents. Generally, wineskins are only maintained or retained in the container only by the neck of their drain. As a result, their filling remains random.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the abovementioned drawbacks by using a container equipped with an internal addition capable of occupying a more reduced volume when empty.
  • the rigid container with internal addition according to the present invention is essentially characterized in that it is constituted by two substantially identical half-shells, each comprising a bottom to which a side wall is connected delimiting a volume flaring gradually from the bottom. , each half-shell also having means for assembling to the other half-shells constituted by locking members, so that the shells can be joined and then separated from each other when empty to be nested in the other empty. It is immediately apparent that at equal volume, the container according to the invention is capable of occupying less empty space than those of the prior art since the elements of the container (half shells) are nestable in the others when empty which was not the case previously.
  • each half-shell has a perimeter external flange.
  • the purpose of this collar is to limit the sinking of each half shells in the other coming to bear, during nesting, on the other half shell and determining a predetermined volume.
  • no jamming effect of the two half shells one inside the other is to be feared when fitting in one direction or the other.
  • the container according to the invention is equipped with an internal addition 1 of any type known for the packaging of liquids, for example wines with a long-life oxygen barrier or in a short-walled blown single wall.
  • the internal addition is preformed and follows the internal volume of the container.
  • the container 1 is constituted by two substantially identical half-shells 2 and 3 each comprising a bottom 4 (for the half-shell 2) and 5 (for the half-shell 3) to which a side wall 6 is connected delimiting a volume which gradually flares out. from the bottom.
  • Each half-shell also has means 7 for assembling to the other half-shell comprising locking members so that the two half-shells can be joined or separated from one another so as to be nested one in the other.
  • the volume of the empty container (when both half shells are fitted one inside the other) is less than 1/3 of the loaded volume.
  • These two half shells made of synthetic material, preferably of polyeofine, are produced by injection molding preferably, or any other process.
  • the two half shells are assembled to each other along the transverse median plane of the container, but it is obvious that they can be assembled along the longitudinal median plane.
  • each half shell is in the general form of a truncated pyramid, the bottom of which constitutes the small base, but it is obvious that each half shell can take any other flared shape.
  • the bottom 4 out 5 of each half-shell follows the outline of a hexagon.
  • the side wall 6 against the peripheral edge of the bottom is connected the side wall 6 which has internally and externally six flat faces so as to form a trunk of pyramid with a hexagonal base.
  • the pyramid trunk formed by the side wall 6 and the bottom of one of the half shells is identical to the pyramid trunk formed by the side wall and the bottom of the other half shell.
  • the bottom of one of the half shells for example the half shell 2 has an external boss 18 or male part of hexagonal shape while the bottom of the other half shell, that is to say the half shell 3 has a hollow 19 or female part with a shape complementary to that of the boss 18.
  • the containers can be stacked while blocking each other by penetration of a boss 18 of one in the hollow 19 of the other.
  • the container is equipped with a transport handle 20 hingedly attached, for example to the half-shell 2.
  • this handle 20 is hingedly attached to the boss 18 of the bottom 4 of the half-shell 2.
  • the bottom 4 of the half-shell 2 has a groove or imprint 21 in which the handle retracts 20.
  • an external flange 8 is provided which is develops along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the half-shell This external flange is connected to the side wall 6 and follows the outline of a hexagon.
  • the flange of the contained half-shell comes to bear on the edge of the containing half-shell to avoid the risks of blocking of one in the other by limiting sinking.
  • the assembly means 7 of each half-shell to the other is constituted by a tubular sleeve which cooperates in interlocking and locking with the sleeve of the other half-shell during the assembly of the latter.
  • Each sleeve has a constant cross section along its entire height.
  • the outer section of one of the sleeves corresponds substantially to the inner section of the other so that these two sleeves can engage with each other with a functional clearance.
  • the profile of the internal and external section of each sleeve follows the outline of a hexagon.
  • the external flange or reinforcing rib 8 is formed at the base of the corresponding sleeve. More precisely, the sleeve is separated from the side wall 6 by the reinforcing rib 8.
  • the sleeve containing abuts against the flange or rib of the other sleeve which allows in this case also to limit the sinking of the two shells towards each other.
  • the flange 8 of the contained shell bears against the rim of the sleeve of the other half-shell.
  • the contained sleeve is provided with sleeve locking devices containing constituted by elastic tabs 9 each provided with an outer spout 10 which engages, during the assembly of the two half shells, in a transverse orifice 11 formed in the container sleeve.
  • the contained sleeve has a succession of notches 12 to form the elastic tabs, each of these tabs being formed by the portion of the sleeve located between two consecutive notches.
  • these notches are each made at the angle of two consecutive faces of the sleeve, ie 120 °.
  • the internal section of the sleeve of each shell is larger than the largest external section of the pyramid defined by the side wall 6.
  • This arrangement combined with the fact that the pyramid trunks formed by the side walls of the half-shells are identical, allows the half-shell carrying the sleeve containing to be fitted into the half-shell carrying the contained sleeve while allowing the flange 8 of the half-shell carrying the sleeve containing to come to bear on the sleeve of the other half-shell.
  • the two half shells can be interconnected one inside the other and with respect to each other without the risk of jamming.
  • Each half-shell 2 and 3 has at the base of the sleeve an internal perimeter shoulder 13.
  • the shoulders 13 in combination with the internal face of the sleeve containing, form an internal perimeter groove 14 into which the internal skin 1 penetrates.
  • the internal skin 1 when it is filled, East blocked in the internal groove of the container.
  • the inner skin pushes the tabs 12 of the contained sleeve towards the containing sleeve which then plays the role of a reinforcement belt. It is easy to see that the pressure of liquid in the inner skin opposes the unlocking of the two half-shells.
  • the inner skin 1 is preformed so as to match the internal volume of the container 1.
  • the internal addition 1 is connected to a part 15 which includes a plug 15B for withdrawing the liquid.
  • the inner skin is fixed to the half-shell 2 which is greater than the filling.
  • the internal addition 1 is equipped with more than at least one external central member for hooking to the container.
  • this member is constituted by a collar 16A or perimeter tongue, fixed to the inner skin 1, projecting therefrom. The collar or perimeter tab is locked in the container between the shoulder 13 of the half-shell fitted with the containing sleeve and the free end of the contained sleeve.
  • the contained sleeve has a height less than that of the containing sleeve so as to be able to accommodate the collar 16A between the end of the sleeve and the shoulder of the half-shell provided with the containing sleeve.
  • the collar 16A is made of cardboard or else of synthetic material.
  • the internal skin deploys or folds back on itself at the collar 16A respectively during filling and during racking.
  • the attachment member consists of an external bead 16 of shape complementary to that of the groove 14 of the container.
  • This bead or external median reinforcement 16 cooperates in interlocking with the internal groove 14 of the container.
  • This external bead is advantageously made of semi-rigid and / or elastic material.
  • the bead 16 comes opposite the internal face of the contained sleeve and the corresponding shoulder 13.
  • the bead 16 is wedged in the groove 14, by the two shoulders 13. Thanks to the hooking member 16 or 16A, the upper part of the 'additionally internal as well as the central zone of the latter are fully deployed in the container before filling.
  • the lower part for filling the inner skin deploys in the lower half-shell during the filling operation.
  • the bottom 5 of the latter has an internal boss 17 separated from the side wall 6 by a perimeter groove 17A conforming to the outline of a hexagon. Under the effect of the pressure of the liquid, the inner skin 1 is forced to enter this groove 17A.
  • This arrangement in combination with the median attachment of the bag in the groove 14, therefore allows better deployment of the bottom of the internal bag and forces the latter to be pressed and / or stretched against the internal faces of the container without formation of creases especially if said skin is already preformed.
  • the inner skin cannot rest on the bottom of the throat 17A, which improves the tension effect.
  • the part of the inner skin which is in relation to the groove 17A is equipped with a reinforcement.
  • the inner skin may have a shape different from that of the internal volume of the container.
  • each half-shell of which is in the form of a trunk of a pyramid an internal addition may be used which is in the form of two trunks of inverted cones.

  • the axes of these two bungs are perpendicular to each other.
  • the axis of the plug 15A comes to be arranged perpendicular to the bottom 4 when the part 15 is fixed in the hollow of the latter.
  • the plug 15A is placed opposite an orifice 22 formed in the wall of the boss 18 while the plug 15B is arranged opposite an orifice 23 formed in the side wall 6 of the half-shell 2.
  • this orifice is made at the angle formed by two faces of the side wall 6.
  • the plug 15A is constituted by a conical tubular element while the plug 15B is constituted by a cylindrical tubular element. This cylindrical tubular element is connected to the conical tubular element. The cone formed by the plug 15A widens towards the orifice 22.
  • the internal skin is fixed by any known means to the plug 15A.
  • the inner skin is fixed by welding to a horizontal annular rim of the plug 15A.
  • the plug 15A and the plug 15B are both associated with the same shutter member 24, removable. The purpose of this shutter member 24 is to shut off the plug 24 while prohibiting or authorizing the passage of the liquid, from the bottle to the draw-off plug.
  • this member 24 is constituted by a generally conical plug which mounts in the plug 15A and which has a notch 25.
  • This notch 25 by pivoting the pad around its axis, in the plug 15A, comes opposite of the plug 15B, which allows the passage of the liquid towards the latter.
  • the notch 25 by pivoting the buffer for example over 180 ° is angularly spaced from said plug.
  • a tongue 26 can be folded down on the said plug and secured to the latter.
  • the part 15 as described has a sole 27 for fixing to the bottom 4 of the half-shell above the filling.
