Abstract

The container (1) comprises a cup-like body (2) closed at the top by a sealing foil (4). The foil (4) in question is protected by a cap portion (5) which may be capable of being perforated (6). A further cap portion (7) engaged on the base (12) of the cup-like body (2) forms a receptacle for holding accessories such as toys, explanatory sheets, or small utensils. Alternatively, the same function may be performed by the cap (5) covering the sealing foil (4).

Description

  • The present invention relates to containers and, in particular, relates to a container according to the preamble to Claim 1.
  • Containers of this type are known in the art and are used widely, for example, for the packaging of food products such as, for example, creamy substances and drinks. For example, use for the packaging of yoghurts or drinks such as tea may be mentioned by way of reference.
  • The present invention addresses the problem of improving the characteristics of a container of the type specified above from at least two points of view, that is:
    • the protection of the sealing foil from the outside atmosphere before use, and
    • the ability to associate with the container accessories such as, for example, a toy (a so-called "gift"), one or more sheets containing information and instructions relating to the product and/or to the toy, or a utensil usable for consuming the product such as, for example, a spatula or a small spoon.
  • According to the present invention, this object is achieved by means of a container having the specific characteristics recited in the following claims.
  • The invention will now be described, purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a general, exploded, perspective view of a possible embodiment of a container according to the invention, and
  • Figure 2 is a diametral section through the same embodiment of the container, in the assembled condition.
  • In the appended drawings, a container generally usable, for example, for the packaging of food products such as, for example, creamy substances or drinks, is generally indicated 1. The invention may, in any case, be used in completely different fields, for example, for the packaging of pharmaceutical products.
  • The container 1 comprises, as a principal element, a beaker-like (or cup-like) body 2 made, for example, of moulded plastics material. In use, the body 2 is intended to hold a filling of a food product C (Figure 2) constituted, for example, by a creamy substance or a drink.
  • The cup-like body 2 has an upper mouth portion surrounded by a flanged rim 3 to which a sealing foil 4 is applied. The foil 4 has a periphery corresponding to the periphery of the mouth portion of the cup-like body 2 (circular in the embodiment shown) and may be made, for example, of aluminium foil, possibly covered with a layer of polymeric material on the side which is to face the body 2. This is so as to form a material of the type generally known as a "combined" material. This solution facilitates the sealing of the periphery of the foil 4 to the flange 3, for example, by means of a heat-sealing or ultrasound welding operation.
  • In any case, the methods adopted for connecting the sealing foil 4 to the mouth portion of the cup-like body 2 may vary widely according to the specific requirements of construction and use. These methods are anyway widely known to experts in the art and do not need to be described in detail herein and, moreover, are not relevant per se for an understanding of the implementation of the invention.
  • The consumer may gain access to the product C inside the body 2 in various ways. For example, he may detach ("peel") the foil 4 from the periphery of the mouth portion of the body 2 or tear the foil 4 or - according to the preferred solution referred to below - he may perforate the foil 4 with a tool such as a straw T with a pointed end T1. As is known, the use of a straw T as a perforation tool has the further advantage that, after possibly being used to stir or mix the product C for consumption, the straw also enables the product to be sucked out.
  • A first cap element, indicated 5, is usually made of plastics material which is shaped, possibly in a manner such as to give it a generally flake-like configuration, its peripheral portion 5a adopting the appearance of a flange which can be applied (directly or possibly with the interposition of a further sealing foil - not explicitly shown in the drawings) to the periphery of the foil 4 in the region of the flanged rim 3 surrounding the mouth portion of the body 2.
  • In these conditions, the cap 5 located on top of the container 1 covers the sealing foil 4, screening it from the outside atmosphere.
  • This is particularly advantageous since it protects the outer surface of the foil 4, in particular, from any environmental contamination.
  • At least in some possible applications such as, for example, the packaging of pharmaceutical products - the cap 5 may be applied so as to cover the foil 4 (in this case also by connection by means of heat-sealing, ultrasound welding, etc., in accordance with known criteria) in a sterile or inert packaging environment. The outer surface of the foil 4 can thus be kept in such conditions throughout subsequent handling up to the moment at which the container is opened in order for the product C contained therein to be used.
  • At this point, the foil 4 may be uncovered by the removal of the cap 5 or - as shown schematically in Figure 2 - the cap may be perforated with the use of the same tool T which is to be used to perforate the foil 4. In particular, the tool (straw) T may be made to penetrate the cap 5 through a hole 6 provided in the body of the cap 5. The hole 6 is initially kept closed by a seal 6a of laminar material such as, for example, aluminium, if necessary, of the "combined" type. The seal 6a which is intended to be torn by the tool T is applied to the cap 5 in the region of the hole 6, preferably on its inner surface facing the foil 4.
  • At the same time, particularly if the cap 5 has a fairly marked concave shape, it defines (between the cap 5 and the foil 4 - or possibly another foil, not shown, which closes the cap 5 on its side facing the foil 4) a chamber in which an accessory of the container such as, for example, a toy, an instruction sheet, a small utensil, etc., can be disposed. This "accessory" may also be constituted by an additive to be added to the product C by being introduced into the body 2 through a hole or tears formed in the foil 4 by acting on the cap 5 in a manner such as to deform it towards the body 2 by squashing.
  • Naturally, the capability to protect the outer face of the foil 4, possibly in sterile conditions, also extends - if necessary - to the contents of the above-mentioned chamber.
  • In the embodiment shown - it is stressed, purely by way of non-limiting example - in the appended drawings, it is envisaged that the cap 5 will perform exclusively the function of protecting the foil 4. In other words, the insertion of an accessory in any chamber defined by the cap 5 relative to the foil 4 is not explicitly provided for.
  • In the embodiment shown, this object is in fact achieved by the association with the container 1 of another cap 7 which acts as a container for holding the accessory B. In the embodiment shown, the cap 7, which is located in a lower position, has a generally cup- or vase-like shape. It thus has a respective base portion defining a chamber 8 (figure 2) in which the accessory B is located. The chamber 8 is closed at the top by a lid-like laminar element 9 which, in the embodiment shown, is generally disk-shaped.
  • The lid-like element 9 is inserted in the cap 7 above the chamber 8 and is restrained therein, for example, owing to snap-engagement in an annular restraining element 10 formed on the internal surface of the element 7.
  • Above the chamber 8, the cap 7 has an upper rim or collar 11, which is preferably generally annular and slightly tapered and which enables the cap 7 to be engaged on the base portion of the cup-like body 2, this portion preferably being slightly narrower and defined at the top by a shoulder 13. The arrangement is such that, in order to engage the cap 7 on the base portion of the cup-like body 2, the collar 11 is slid onto the narrower base portion 12 until the end edge of the collar 11 is brought into abutment with the shoulder 13.
  • At this point, as shown schematically in Figure 2, the lower cap 7 can be fixed in position, coupled with the base portion of the cup-like body 2, for example, by means of a tape or band 14, for example, an adhesive tape or band, which covers the portion of the cup-shaped body 2 immediately above the shoulder 13 and the portion of the collar 11 adjacent its end edge.
