Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container formed from a thermoplastic strip and comprising a main compartment, a secondary compartment, a peripheral rim and an intermediate zone for connecting the compartments, said compartments each comprising a bottom, a side wall and an upper end. open on the upper face of the container, the peripheral rim and the connection zone extending in the plane of said upper face, said rim being inscribed in a rectangle whose sides determine a first and a second direction, the compartments being aligned along the first direction and the connecting area having a line of weakness parallel to the second direction.
  • the indication that the rim is inscribed in a rectangle covers the fact that the outline of this rim delimits four main sides, whose tangents are perpendicular two by two and thus define a rectangle. These tangents are moreover confused with the contours of the rim over a relatively large portion of the length of the latter.
  • Such known containers are for example used for the packaging, in each of the two compartments, of complementary food products which are not mixed by the consumer until their tasting.
  • the main compartment is intended to contain a basic product, such as a dairy product
  • the secondary compartment is intended to contain an accompanying product, such as a seasoning or a preparation based on fruits , used to enrich the taste of the basic product.
  • the volume of the main compartment is significantly greater than that of the secondary compartment, and this main compartment is only partially filled in order to be able to receive the contents of the secondary compartment without overflowing.
  • the upper end of the secondary compartment must, however, be wide enough to allow easy filling of this compartment on the packaging line with a suitably dosed product.
  • thermoplastic strips are delivered in determined widths, imposed by the dimensions of the machines used for their manufacture, it becomes very difficult to manufacture containers of the aforementioned type while avoiding the appearance of significant drops or losses in cutting in the thermoplastic strip.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks of known containers.
  • the dimension of the secondary compartment measured in the first direction, from the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to said secondary compartment to the line of weakness is substantially equal to half of the dimension of the main compartment measured in the same direction, from said line of weakness to the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to said main compartment.
  • the sum of said dimensions measured in the first direction is substantially equal to a whole divider of the useful width of the thermoplastic strip.
  • the useful width of the thermoplastic strip is the width measured between the two marginal gripping portions, necessary for maintaining this strip on a production line.
  • the width of these marginal portions, which is relatively small, is imposed by the dimensions of conventional tools for holding the strip in the production line.
  • the main compartment and the secondary compartment are made of materials with different aspects.
  • materials with different aspects are meant materials which differ either by a chemical composition which gives them a particular appearance, or by a specific coloration of the same basic material.
  • This embodiment of the invention provides a major advantage over known containers, whose main and secondary compartments are made of the same material, so that it is not possible, without special labeling, to distinguish between one from the other the containers of several variants of the same range of products, comprising for example the same basic product, contained in the main compartment of the containers and several "perfumes" of accompanying products contained in the secondary compartments different containers.
  • thermoplastic strip Due to the conformation of these known containers, it is moreover not possible to produce their two compartments in materials with different aspects by manufacturing them, under viable economic conditions, on a conventional production line using a thermoplastic strip. advancing step by step in the longitudinal direction.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing, from a thermoplastic strip, of containers with two compartments, according to which the thermoplastic strip is maintained by its longitudinal marginal gripping portions, said strip is advanced step by step in the direction longitudinal, at least one transverse row of containers is thermoformed, forming, for each container, a main compartment and a secondary compartment each comprising a bottom, a side wall and an open upper end situated in the plane of the strip, making in this plane a peripheral rim and a connection zone between the compartments, and a weakening line directed in the second direction of a rectangle in which the peripheral rim fits, the compartments being aligned, is formed in said connection zone in the first direction of this rectangle.
  • the purpose of the method according to the invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.
  • the main and secondary compartments of each container are produced, juxtaposed in the transverse direction of the thermoplastic strip, the first direction of the rectangles thus extending in said transverse direction, the dimension of the secondary compartment is measured in the transverse direction, from the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to said secondary compartment to the line of weakness, a value substantially equal to half that of the dimension of the main compartment measured in the same direction, from the line of weakening up to the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to said main compartment and, the longitudinal end of the peripheral rim of a container coinciding with that of the peripheral rim of the neighboring container, the sum of said dimensions is given in the transverse direction of the main compartments and secondary a value substantially equal to an integer divisor the value of the useful width of the strip, measured between its two marginal gripping portions.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to manufacture containers, the main and secondary compartments of which are made of materials with different aspects.
  • thermoplastic strip which has, between its two marginal gripping portions, an alternation of ribbons of a first and a second type, welded together and made of materials of different aspects and in which, at least for the so-called "current" ribbons, situated between the two extreme ribbons adjacent to said marginal portions, the width of the current ribbons of the second type is substantially equal to half the width of the current ribbons of the first type.
  • the main compartment is produced in a ribbon of the first type, and the secondary compartment in a ribbon of the second type.
  • the invention also relates to a thermoplastic strip intended to be used for the manufacture of containers according to the invention, comprising a main compartment and a secondary compartment made of materials with different aspects.
  • this strip comprises, between two marginal gripping portions, an alternation of ribbons of a first type and of ribbons of a second type, welded together and made of materials with different aspects.
  • the width of the common ribbons of the second type is substantially equal to half the width of the common ribbons of the first type.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a container 10, formed from a thermoplastic strip and comprising a main compartment 12 and a secondary compartment 14. This container also has a peripheral rim 16 and an intermediate zone 18 for connecting the compartments.
  • the rim 16 and the connection zone 18 are formed in continuity with one another and are two parts, respectively peripheral and intermediate, of the same zone of the thermoplastic strip which has remained substantially non deformed during the manufacture of the container and which constitutes the upper face 20 of the latter.
  • the main compartment 12 has a bottom 22, a side wall 24, and an upper end 26 open on the upper face 20 of the container.
  • the secondary compartment 14 has a bottom 28, a side wall 30, and an upper end 32 open on the upper face 20 of the container.
  • An empty space 29 remains between the side walls 24 and 30 of each of the two compartments under the connection zone 18.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the container and therefore shows the upper face 20 of the latter.
  • the peripheral rim 16 and the connection zone 18 are formed in continuity with one another, as said above, and in the plane of this upper face 20.
  • weld zones respectively designated by the references 27 and 33, and serving for the fixing of a lid for closing the container in one or two parts (not shown) .
  • the peripheral rim 16 is inscribed in a rectangle R whose sides determine a first direction D1 and a second direction D2, these directions obviously being perpendicular to each other.
  • the compartments 12 and 14 are aligned in the first direction D1.
  • connection zone 18 between the two compartments has a weakening line 34, also visible in FIG. 1, which is rectilinear and extends in the direction D2.
  • This weakening line 34 can, for example, be produced by a series of small perforations or by a continuous streak and makes it possible to tilt the secondary compartment 14 towards the main compartment 12 to pour the contents of this compartment 14 into the compartment 12 .
  • the weakening line 34 can be used to easily separate the secondary compartment from the main compartment.
  • the dimension L1 of the small compartment 14 measured in the direction D1, from the secondary end 16a of the peripheral rim 16 adjacent to the secondary compartment 14 as far as the weakening line 34, is substantially equal to half the dimension L2 of the main compartment 12 measured in the direction D1 from the line of weakness 34 to the end 16b of the peripheral rim 16 adjacent to the main compartment 12.
  • the upper face of the secondary compartment 14 occupies a first third of the rectangle R, while the upper face of the main compartment 12 occupies the remaining two thirds of this rectangle.
  • the sum of the dimensions L1 and L2, measured in the direction D1 is substantially equal to a whole divider of the useful width L u of the thermoplastic strip 100 in which the container is made.
  • This useful width L u is defined as being the width of the strip situated between the two marginal gripping portions 101 and 102 necessary for the step-by-step drive of the strip. and maintaining the latter during the various stages of the manufacture of the containers.
  • the measurement of the width L u is equal to the measurement of the total width of the strip, minus the widths of the two marginal gripping portions 101 and 102.
  • rows r1 and r2 of six containers juxtaposed in the direction D1 occupy the entire useful width L u of the strip 100.
  • the main compartment 12 and the secondary compartment 14 are made of materials of different appearance.
  • FIG. 4 indicates that the secondary compartments are produced in the slightly gray ribbons of the strip 100, designated by the references 104, 106, 108 and 110, while the main compartments are produced in ribbons which remain un-grayed, designated by the references 105, 107 and 109.
  • the secondary compartment 14 is transparent, while the main compartment 12 is opaque.
  • the secondary compartment 14 is then for example made of crystal polystyrene, while the main compartment 12 can be made of polystyrene containing butadiene.
  • the two compartments are made of materials of different appearance, it is arranged so that the demarcation between the two materials is located substantially on the line of weakness 34.
  • the two compartments are made of the same material, provision can be made to distinguish the two compartments by a simple wrapping of the side wall of the main compartment 12. In this case, if this material is transparent, only the content of the secondary compartment 14 will still be visible.
  • the side wall 30 of the secondary compartment 14 has, on the side opposite to the main compartment 12, at least one advanced portion 30a.
  • This portion 30a is advanced relative to the other parts of the side wall 30 on the side opposite to the container 12, but does not extend beyond the dimension L1 previously defined. In other words, the other parts 30b and 30c of this side wall 30 on the side opposite to the main compartment 12 are simply set back relative to the portion 30a.
  • the forward portion 30a makes it possible to locally increase the size of the compartment 14 without excessively increasing the capacity thereof, so as to allow the insertion of a utensil such as a spoon.
  • volume of the secondary compartment 14 is generally much less than the volume of the main compartment 12, which is explained by the fact that the secondary compartment 14 is only intended to receive a product complementary to the product contained in the container 12, this additional product does not necessarily have to be poured in large quantities.
  • the secondary compartment 14 is considerably less deep than the main compartment 12, and its bottom 28 extends away from the bottom 22 of this main compartment 12. Still with the aim of facilitating the use of a utensil such than a spoon, the bottom 28 is advantageously rounded.
  • the forward portion 30a can have another advantage.
  • This portion 30a can indeed protrude locally from a packaging serving to contain the container 10, so that the material of the secondary compartment 14, or even the content of the latter, is easily visible to the consumer, without running the risk that the secondary compartment 14 is released from the packaging, or even detached from the main compartment 12, during the various operations for handling the container in its packaging, before tasting its contents.
  • the side wall of the secondary compartment 14 has a single forward portion 30a, constituted by a central cantilevered portion, which is flared towards the opening of the compartment 14 and tapers towards the bottom of the last.
  • the peripheral rim 16 advantageously has at least one recess 17 on the side opposite to the main compartment 12. This or these recesses 17 then provide an advanced portion 17a towards the end 16a of the peripheral rim 16, which can also partially exceed one suitable packaging.
  • the part 17a does not however extend outside the rectangle R and does not modify the dimension L1 previously defined.
  • the portion 17a of the rim 16 is advantageously located above the latter.
  • the containers according to the invention are conditioned in groups of at least two containers joined to each other by their respective peripheral edges and separable from each other by breaking at least one line of least resistance practiced on the border of adjacent peripheral edges.
  • FIG 7 shows four containers 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, joined together by the adjacent ends of their peripheral edges.
  • the borders of the contiguous edges are designated by the general reference 11.
  • the containers can be separated from each other by breaking a line of least resistance situated on the border 11. It is however important to avoid that when handling the containers to separate them from each other, the weakening lines 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d located in the area of link between their two respective compartments are broken at the same time as the lines of least resistance 11.
  • the group of at least two containers is therefore advantageously made in such a way that the line or lines of least resistance 11 are liable to be broken more easily than the weakening line of each of the containers.
  • thermoplastic strip 100 is maintained by its longitudinal marginal gripping portions 101 and 102, the strip 100 is advanced step by step in the longitudinal direction, at least one transverse row of containers is thermoformed, forming, for each container, a main compartment and a secondary compartment, these compartments each comprising a bottom, a side wall and an open upper end situated in the plane of the strip 100, by producing in this plane a peripheral rim 16 and a zone 18 of connection between the compartments 12, 14, and a weakening line 34 directed in the second direction D2 of a rectangle R in which the peripheral rim 16 is inscribed, in this connection zone 18, the compartments 12 and 14 being aligned in the first direction D1 of this rectangle R.
  • rectangles R have been represented, in which the containers are inscribed, by punctuated lines, and the directions D1 and D2 have been indicated defined by the sides of these rectangles.
  • the main and secondary compartments are made juxtaposed in the transverse direction of the thermoplastic strip 100, the first direction D1 of the rectangles R thus extends in the transverse direction of this strip, while the second direction D2 of these rectangles extends in the longitudinal direction.
  • the dimension L1 of the secondary compartment, measured in the transverse direction of the strip is given from the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to this secondary compartment to the weakening line situated on the connection zone between the secondary compartments and main, a value substantially equal to half that of the dimension L2 of the main compartment measured in the same direction, from this line of weakness to the end of the peripheral rim adjacent to said main compartment.
  • each of the containers coincide over at least a significant part of their length with the sides of the rectangles R. It is therefore understood that the longitudinal end, that is to say directed in the longitudinal direction of the strip 100, of the peripheral rim of a container coincides with the longitudinal end of the peripheral rim of the neighboring container.
  • the sum of the dimensions L1 and L2 in the transverse direction of the main and secondary compartments is given a value substantially equal to an integer divider of the value of the useful width L u of the strip 100, measured between these two marginal gripping portions 101 and 102.
  • this integer divisor is equal to six. It is advantageously even when it is desired to package the containers by group of at least two juxtaposed containers in the direction D1 of the rectangles R.

  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show two variants, respectively 200 and 300 of the thermoplastic strip, which respectively comprise marginal gripping portions 201, 202 and 301, 302.
  • the strip 200 has an alternation of ribbons of a first and a second type, designated by references ranging from 203 to 209. Among these, the odd references designate the ribbons of the first type, while the even references designate the ribbons of the second type.
  • the strip 300 comprises an alternation of ribbons of a first and a second type, designated by references ranging from 304 to 315, the odd references designating the ribbons of the first type, while the even references designate the ribbons of the second type.
  • all the ribbons of the second type have a width substantially equal to half that of the ribbons of the first type.

  • the two end tapes 104 and 110 are both of the second type. Their width T22 is substantially equal to half the width T2 of common ribbons of the second type.
  • the extreme ribbons 203 and 209 are of the first type and their width T'11 is substantially equal to half the width T'1 of common ribbons of the first type.
  • the weakening lines are made between the two compartments of the containers on the border between the ribbons of the first type and the ribbons of the second type.
  • this border is limited by the lines directed in the longitudinal direction of the strip 100 or 200, which separate the different ribbons and are designated by the reference F.
  • the longitudinal ends of the peripheral edges are delimited on the median lines of the ribbons of the first and second types of the strips 100 or 200.
  • the line E of FIG. 4 which marks the border between the adjacent peripheral edges of the juxtaposed containers, is located in the middle of the ribbon 105.
  • the juxtaposition of two main compartments belonging to two separate containers occupies substantially the entire width T1 or T'1 of a running ribbon of the first type on the strip 100 or 200.
  • the juxtaposition of two secondary compartments belonging to two separate containers occupies substantially the whole of the width T2 or T'2 of a current ribbon of the second type on the strip 100 or 200.
  • the method advantageously includes a step in which the containers are grouped by group of at least two containers whose peripheral edges situated towards the interior of the group are joined, a step in which a line of least resistance is produced on the border between these joined edges, and a step in which each group is cut according to the contours of the peripheral edges situated towards the outside of the group.
  • the containers can be grouped both in the transverse direction of the strip, as well as in the longitudinal direction of the latter.
  • the method comprises a step of filling the two compartments of the containers with a suitably dosed product, and a step of fitting and fixing at least one closure cap on the upper face of the containers.
  • a first variant comprising the step in which the containers are grouped together, the step in which each group is cut out on the contours of the outer peripheral edges is simultaneously carried out, the step in which the lines of least resistance on the border are made between the contiguous inner edges of the containers and the step in which the weakening lines are made between the two compartments of each container, these three steps, which in reality are only one since they are carried out simultaneously, take place after the step of fitting and fixing the closure cap.
  • the cover is made from a continuous strip, the step in which the lines of least resistance are produced will make it possible to cut a separate cover per container, and the step in which the lines d weakening will make it possible to distinguish this cover in two parts specifically covering on the one hand the main compartment and, on the other hand, the secondary compartment.
