Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging industry, and more particularly the molded plastic pots, with attached lid, for the marketing of various products, in particular cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and maintenance, as well as food and industrial products, such as creams, pastes, gels, powders, ointments, more or less fluid emulsions, milks, food products, paints.
  • the object of the invention is an inexpensive packaging pot which can be produced by assembling a minimal number of elements, part of which can be standardized and produced in large series, and part of which, specific, gives an original, personalized look to each product, thus overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of conventional pots.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging pot for the marketing of various products comprising a container housed inside a casing body capped with a casing cover pivoting around a horizontal articulation, with a snap closure. elastic erasable manually by action on a lug projecting externally; pot characterized in that the container is enclosed in a one-piece ring comprising a lower ring secured to the container and a pivoting upper ring connected to the lower ring by a flexible hinge tab, the two rings respectively comprising members complementary latching, the top of the housing body being secured around the lower ring, and the base of the housing cover being secured around the upper ring.
  • the reciprocal snap-fastening members of the two rings comprise a tab which is elastically manually pushable towards the inside of the pot, coming from one of the rings and terminated by a hook directed towards the outside in the vicinity of an external extension constituting a ratchet release push-button projecting outside the pot between the body and the housing cover, while an antagonist hook directed inwards comes from the other ring.
  • such a pot can include two symmetrical snap-fastening devices diametrically opposed on either side of the articulation tab.
  • two snap closures it is necessary to simultaneously erase the two snap closures to release the lid and open the jar.
  • a pot according to the invention comprises a standard assembly of assembled receptacle-ring and interchangeable housing elements, body and cover, adaptable respectively to the upper and lower rings of the ring.
  • a pot according to the invention can be produced in only three elements, the container and the ring forming a single piece coming from molding, on which a body and a housing cover are fitted.
  • a cap which externally fits the neck of the container and is integral with the upper ring of the ring.
  • a removable sealing cap snapped elastically into an annular groove dug inside the top of the neck of the container and having, on its upper external face, a tab manual gripping surface.
  • the cover is in the form of a bowl, the gripping tab being entirely contained in the hollow and put out of reach until the first use, by a tear-resistant guarantee film sealed on the outer edge. around the lid.
  • a guarantee film, tearable at the first opening of the jar can also be sealed, marginally on the edge of the neck of the container, as well as possibly on the periphery of the lid.
  • a housing body 2 is snapped at its open top around the lower ring 8 however that a housing cover 3 is snapped at its open base around the 'upper ring 9.
  • the upper ring 9 has a hook-shaped extension 5a, directed outwards and offset inwards, which encroaches on the lower ring 8 when the two rings 8, 9 are folded over one another, to cooperate with a hook 5b directed inwards, coming from the lower ring 8, in order to constitute a snap closure.
  • a lug 6 coming from the upper ring 9 above the hook 5a, and projecting outside the ring constitutes a manual pusher making it possible to release the latched closure at will, by elastic deformation of the upper ring 9 at neighborhood of hook 5a.
  • the housing body 2 and the housing cover 3 are snapped into the lower 8 and upper 9 rings respectively of the ring 7 by conventional coordinated groove and rib assemblies 15, 16 respectively ( Figure 2) except opposite the tab d hinge 4 and closure 5a, 5b in order to leave the freedom of deformation of the rings 8, 9 necessary for proper operation. Stop shoulders 17, 18, respectively, ensure good axial positioning of the housing body 2 and the housing cover 3, respectively.
  • the end of lug 6 does not thus not exceed the outer envelope of the pot and is protected against accidental knocks, while facilitating the packaging of the pot.
  • the upper ring 9 is extended at its outer end by a notched inner annular rim 21, the recessed parts of which are extended by hooks 22 directed inwards.
  • This arrangement allows the snap-on flat bottom 24 to be fitted in place and held in place by a cover 11 in the form of a flat bowl, the annular side wall 23 of which externally fits the neck of the container 1 to ensure the seal, lid folded down, during the use of the pot.
  • the cover of the housing 3 has internally an annular rim 25 coaxial, the free edge of which abuts against the bottom of the cap 11 in the vicinity of the hooks 22 and of the wall 23 of the cap 11, which ensures a very effective joining of the cap 11 with the upper ring 9 and the housing cover 3 during the repeated manipulations of opening and closing the jar.
  • the inner edge of the container 1 is hollowed out by a shoulder 26 which serves as a support for the peripheral edge of a cover 12 in the form of a flat bowl, of which a rib projecting outwardly from the bottom engages in a corresponding groove 27 hollowed out in the marginal side wall of the container 1.
  • a gripping tab 13 coming from the internal face of the bottom of the cover 12 facilitates its tearing off for the first use.
  • This cover 12 provides a complete seal during the entire storage life of the pot.
  • the tab 13 does not exceed the upper edge of the bowl of the cover 12, which allows the establishment of a guarantee film 14 heat sealed, or glued to the edge of the rim of the periphery of the cover 12.
  • the first user must tear the film 14, thus leaving an indelible mark of break-in guaranteeing the customer against an earlier fraudulent opening of the pot.
  • Figure 6 shows a variant of snap closure.
  • a rigid hook 50a comes from the upper ring 9 and snaps into a rectangular cut 50b from the internal end 50b of a horizontal pusher 60 connected to the lower ring 8 by a flexible tongue vertical 110 delimited by two parallel slots 111, 112 of the lower ring 8.
  • the opening button of the case is thus secured to the case body, instead of the cover as in the example of FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • the container 1 and the ring 7 are molded in one piece, but it is conceivable to produce the container and the ring separately, and then to assemble them according to a known technique such as bonding or welding by ultrasound, although this requires an additional operation.
  • the cap 11 can be secured to the housing cover 3, by snap-fastening, gluing, welding or other known technique, instead of being snapped into the upper ring 9, as described and shown.
  • a flexible material, such than polyethylene allows better repeated interlocking, therefore better sealing, than a relatively hard material, such as polypropylene which, on the other hand, has a more attractive appearance and greater rigidity which are better suited to presentation, decoration. , and the consistency that is commercially expected from a pot of good quality and good appearance.
  • the guarantee film 14 can also be sealed on the edge of the neck of the container 1 instead of the cover 12.
  • the shoulder 26 of the inner edge of the container 1 is sufficiently hollow so that the edge of the neck of the container exceeds the edge of the rim of the periphery of the cover 12.
  • the shapes of the container 1 and of the housing 2,3 are not necessarily homothetic, the container-housing connection by the ring 7 allows very diverse adaptations, for example between a cylindrical container of revolution and a polygonal or oval housing. , Or other.
