Definitions

  • the present invention relates to glass containers for foodstuffs. More particularly, it relates to small glass jars provided with a hermetically-closing cover and intended to contain tuna-fish, and generally sliced fish.
  • containers of slightly flaring or frusto-conical shape, rather than of cylindrical shape have been proposed, so as to avoid any contact between their covers when they are packaged and transported, said covers being located at the end of smaller diameter of this type of containers.
  • this type of containers has some disadvantages in connection with the use by a customer.
  • said containers especially in case of sliced fish or tuna, do not permit the content therein to be withdrawn as a unitary block because their mouth is narrower than their bottom. Therefore, the product can be withdrawn only by crumbling it, which is a disadvantage.
  • the present invention aims to overcome said disadvantages and drawbacks of the known art by providing a glass container of cylindrical shape provided with hermetically-clsoing cover and formed with an annular enlargement protruding from the surface of said container by an extent larger than the prominence of the rim of the hermetically-closing cover on said container.
  • said annular enlargement is formed on the jar at the region immediately below the cover.
  • the numeral 1 indicates a glass jar according to the known art, provided with hermetically-closing cover 2.
  • Said glass jar is of frusto-conical shape whereby when in a condition such as shown in the Figure, it is in contact with another jar 1, this contact occurring only at the base of the jars at 3 and not at the rim of the cover 2.
  • each container 1 is narrower at its mouth, some of the problems set forth above are still unsolved, i.e. the content therein must be crumbled to be withdrawn, since it cannot be removed as a compact unitary block.
  • Figure 2 shows a container made according to the present invention.
  • said container comprises a cylindrical body 101 whose mouth is closed by a hermetically-closing cover 2.
  • the body 101 of the jar is formed, on the outer surface thereof, with an annular enlargement 4 protruding beyond the outline of the jar 101 by an extent larger than the prominence of the peripheral rim of the cover 2.
  • This enlargement 4 is designed to contact, at the point 103, as shown in Fiure 2, the corresponding enlargement of a jar packed adjacent thereto.
  • the product therein can be removed therefrom as a compact unitary block.
