Definitions

  • This invention relates to containers.
  • the invention relates to containers for ready-to-eat food products and the like, of the kind comprising a body formed of plastics or paper and a removable cover closing the mouth of the container.
  • This invention consists of a container comprising a body formed of plastics or paper and a cover assembly closing the mouth of the container body, the cover assembly comprising an inner cover member heat-sealed to the mouth of the container body and an outer cover member heat-sealed to the inner member, the inner and/or outer cover members being shaped to provide a space between them to accommodate an object.
  • the inner cover member is a metal foil heat-sealed at its periphery to a rim formed at the mouth of the container body.
  • the outer cover member may also be a metal foil, heat-sealed around its periphery to the periphery of the inner cover member.
  • the inner and outer cover members may be made of other materials, such as paper or film.
  • the outer cover member may be of transparent film, so that an object accommodated between the cover members is visible to the user.
  • the outer cover member has a tab by means of which it can be peeled from the container body, the adhesion between the outer cover member and the inner cover member being less than that between the inner cover member and the container body, so that the inner cover member remains in place as the outer cover member is removed.
  • the inner cover member is provided with a tab by means of which it can be peeled from the container body.
  • the tab may be folded inwards so that it is positioned in the space between the outer and inner cover members when both cover members are secured to the container body.
  • the tab may be folded outwards to lie against the outer surface of the container body.
  • a container 10 for ready-to-eat foodstuffs comprises a plastics or paper body 12 and a cover assembly 16.
  • the body 12 which may be of any suitable shape, has a rim 14 extending around the mouth of the container.
  • the cover assembly 16 consists of an inner cover member 18 and an outer cover member 20, both formed of metal foil.
  • the inner member is a shallow recessed diaphragm, and has an outer peripheral portion 22 which fits against, and is heat-sealed to the outer surface of the rim 14 of the container body.
  • a tab 24 extends from the outer edge of the inner member 18. As shown in Figure 2, the tab 24 is folded inwards so as to be positioned between the inner cover member 18 and the outer cover member 20. Alternatively, the tab 24 may be folded outwards to lie against the outer surface of the body 12.
  • the outer cover member 20 is flat and is heat-sealed to the outer surface of the peripheral portion 22 of the cover member 18.
  • a tab 26 extends outwards from the outer edge of the outer cover member 20.
  • the dish shape of the inner cover member 18 forms a closed space 28 between the inner cover member 18 and the outer cover member 20, to accommodate a spoon 30 or other object, for example another implement or a sachet containing a food ingredient to be mixed with the foodstuff in the body of the container.
  • the foodstuff is supplied to the interior of the container body 12, and the inner cover member 18 is heat-sealed to the rim 14 of the body.
  • the spoon 30 or other object is deposited in the dish formed by the cover member 18 and the outer cover member 20 is heat-sealed to the inner cover member 18.
  • the coatings applied to the foils forming the inner and outer cover members are selected so that the adhesion between the outer cover member 20 and the inner cover member 18 is less than that between the inner cover member 18 and the container body 12.
  • plastics or paper body 12 of the container can be formed in any suitable manner, and that the heat sealing of the inner and outer cover members to the container body can be carried out using conventional techniques.
  • the inner and outer cover members could be made of other materials, such as paper or film.
