Definitions
- the invention relates to a metallic packaging for packaging products intended for disposal which cannot be disposed of directly with household waste or in waste water.
- the invention relates to a metal packaging for products intended for disposal comprising a container with a wall, a bottom and an opening, as well as a lid for closing said container, characterized in that a partition is fixed irremovable inside the container and determines, with the bottom and the wall of the container, a receptacle for said products, at least one orifice being provided in said partition for the passage of said products in the receptacle.
- This packaging is used in the following way: The products to be eliminated are placed progressively in the receptacle made in the container, thanks to the orifice provided in the interior partition.
- the packaging can be directly disposed of with household waste, without risk of contamination because the products placed in the receptacle cannot leave the container.
- means can be provided for fixing the lid to the container, the packaging then being unable to be opened using ordinary tools.
- the means ensuring the fixing of the lid on the container are advantageously constituted by a material, placed on the edge of the lid or on the periphery of the opening of the container, and which ensures the connection between the lid and the container, under the effect of temperature.
- This material can in particular be constituted by a solder material, such as tin or by a thermoplastic or thermosetting adhesive.
- the container has a ring for snapping the lid onto the container
- the container has a ring for latching the inner partition, on the container, the inner partition is substantially parallel to the bottom of the container, the cover has, on its outer periphery, a skirt intended to fit into the opening from the container, the cover has a rolled rim defining a groove for the hot-melt material,
- the cover has at least one hole and preferably a filter, - the orifice provided in the inner wall is closed by removable or retractable means.
- FIG. 1 shows a half front view of a package according to the invention, the cover and the container being separated
- FIG. 2 shows a half sectional view of a package according to the invention, the cover and the container being integral
- FIG. 3 is a half-section of the cover of the packaging according to the invention, along its axis of symmetry,
- FIG. 4 is a half-section of the interior wall of the packaging according to the invention, along its axis of symmetry and
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of detail A in Figure 1.
- the reference 1 designates the container of the packaging according to the invention and the reference 2, its cover.
- the container 1 is conventionally called a "truck pot”. It consists of a hollow body 3, here of slightly frustoconical shape, which constitutes the wall of the container. It is closed at one of its ends by a bottom 4 crimped and presenting at its other end an opening 5 which is intended to receive the cover 2. In the example illustrated in the figures, it is a total opening.
- the container 1 of the packaging according to the invention can be produced from a traditional truck pot.
- the seal which is conventionally provided between the bottom 4 and the hollow body 3 is omitted when the container is intended to be heated to relatively high temperatures.
- the container 1 has a groove 6 to allow the latching of the cover 2.
- this groove comprises two frustoconical faces 7 and 8 in the extension of one another.
- the face 7 is that which is closest to the bottom 4. It defines a rod and constitutes a bearing face.
- the face 8 is a connecting element between the bearing face 7 and the upper part of the container 1 which delimits the opening 5.
- the face 7 is convergent with respect to the axis of symmetry 10 of the container 1, while the face 8 is divergent with respect to this same axis.
- the upper part of the container is extended by a rim 11 projecting from the outside of the container and obtained by a roll of the wall of the container.
- This rim 11 surrounds the container and has a concave zone 12, the concavity of which faces the bottom 4 of the container.
- This concave zone forms a rib which connects the contour of the opening 5 to a frustoconical portion 13 which is divergent with respect to the axis of symmetry 10 of the container.
- Herself extends by a part 14 substantially parallel to the bottom then by a return wall 15. This ends in a roll 16 which is in contact with the outer wall of the container 1.
- the container 1 also has a rod 9 to allow separation easily stacked containers.
- the container 1 comprises another rod 17 which is defined between two frustoconical portions 18 and 19.
- the frustoconical portion 18, the closest to the bottom, is convergent with respect to the axis of symmetry 10 of the container, while the frustoconical portion 19 is divergent with respect to this same axis.
- the rod 17 is used for snapping on the inner wall 40, as will be described later.
- the cover 2 has, from its axis of symmetry 20, a central part 21, followed by a step 22 which is extended by a flat and annular peripheral part 23.
- This peripheral part 23 is further from the bottom 4 than the central part 21, when the cover 2 is placed on the container 1.
- the axes 10 and 20 then coincide, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the peripheral part 23 is connected to a holding skirt 24 which extends over the outer periphery of the cover 2. This skirt is intended to fit into the opening 5 of the container, the cover thus being of the "reentry” type .
- This skirt 24 has the general shape of a groove, with its bottom 25.
- the groove is extended by a rim 26 rolled upwards.
- the rim projects from the outside of the groove.
- the rim defines a groove 27.
- a bead 30 of material ensuring the fixing of the cover and the container under the effect of temperature, can advantageously be deposited in this groove.
- the groove 27 or the bead cooperates with the concave zone 12 which connects the rim 11 to the contour of the opening 5, when the cover is pressed into the container.
- the groove consists of a cylindrical wall 28 connecting the bottom 25 of the groove to the peripheral part 23 and a shaped wall 31 connecting the bottom 25 of the groove to the rim 26.
- This wall 31 essentially comprises a portion 32 diverging from the axis of symmetry 20 of the cover, followed by a portion 33 converging with respect to the same axis, then a portion 34 slightly converging and a portion 35 substantially cylindrical, these two portions being connected by a frustoconical portion 36, flaring from the portion 34.
- the converging portion 33 constitutes a bearing zone and defines a rod intended to cooperate with the bearing face 7 of the container which also forms a rod.
- the cover 2 When the packaging is intended to be heated, the cover 2 also has at least one hole 29.
- the hole may take the form of a simple "punctured", the metal burrs referenced 37 not being withdrawn.
- a filter can then be fixed on the internal face of the cover 1, inside the space delimited by the cylindrical wall 28.
- This filter is of interest when the packaging is heated to high temperatures, this heating causing fumes of gas to escape through holes 29.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the interior partition 40.
- This interior partition has substantially the shape of a cover.
- the partition 40 comprises, centered on its axis d ⁇ . symmetry 50, a central part 41.
- the latter has a projecting recess 42 which extends around a central orifice 43. It is through this orifice that the products to be eliminated will be introduced. Other orifices can also be provided.
- This orifice is intended to be closed by suitable means which are not illustrated in FIG. 4 and which come to bear on the recess 42. These means are removable or retractable.
- the internal partition 40 then comprises, starting from the central part 41 and moving away from the axis of symmetry 50, a frustoconical wall 44 which widens from the axis 50 and on the opposite side of the central part 41, with respect to the offset 42.
- the frustoconical wall is extended by a cylindrical wall 45 which returns substantially to the level of the central part 41.
- the cylindrical wall continues with a concave zone 46, the concavity of which faces the bottom 4 of the container, when the internal partition is fixed in the container.
- the concave zone 46 is extended by a skirt 47, which has substantially the shape of a groove and which extends relative to the central part 41, on the side opposite to the recess 42 and ends in a rolled edge 48.
- the internal partition 40 is fixed inside the container, by snap-fastening.
- the rolled edge 48 is forcibly inserted into the rod 17.
- the internal partition 40 can no longer be removed, the frustoconical portion 19 preventing any upward movement.
- the internal partition cannot be pushed further into the container either, due to the presence of the frustoconical portion 18.
- the internal partition 40 defines, with the bottom 4 and the wall 3 of the container, a receptacle 60 which will receive the products to be eliminated.
- the internal partition is substantially parallel to the bottom 4 of the container.
- the invention is not limited to this exemplary embodiment.
- the main thing is that the receptacle made in the container is closed, the only openings being those provided in the partition itself.
- the interior partition is not perpendicular to the bottom of the container.
- the packaging according to the invention is used in the following manner: the opening 5 of the container being free of any lid, the products to be eliminated are placed, progressively, in the receptacle 60, thanks to the passage formed by the orifice 43 in the interior partition.
- the orifice 43 is closed by suitable means.
- the cover is then placed on the container 1 and pressed into the opening 5.
- the cover is easily inserted into the container.
- There is no point of contact between the lid and the container since the portions 32, 33, 34 and 36 are recessed with respect to the internal surface of the container.
- the air which is inside the container and which is compressed due to the depression of the cover can easily escape towards the outside of the container.
- the rod 33 comes into contact with the frustoconical face 8 and then snaps into the rod 7.
- the volume of air trapped between the internal partition 40 and the cover 2 is reduced. The pressure inside the container is therefore low enough to avoid accidental opening of the container with ejection of the cover.
- Means ensuring the fixing of the lid on the container can also be provided.
- a bead 30 of material ensuring the fixing under the effect of the temperature, in the groove 27 of the cover, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the packaging is placed in an oven of appropriate dimensions.
- the oven heats the container to a temperature and for a sufficient time to sterilize the products to be eliminated placed in the receptacle 60.
- the container can be heated for one hour at a temperature of 260 ° C.
- gases can be generated inside the container. They can escape through the holes 29 which are provided in the cover. Furthermore, these gases are filtered using the filter provided on the cover.
- the packaging is removed from the oven and allowed to cool.
- the material 30 placed between the lid and the container ensures the final closure of the container by the lid, which can no longer be removed by means of a conventional tool.
- the packaging can then be directly disposed of with household waste, the risks of opening this packaging having practically been eliminated.
- This material can be constituted for example by a solder material, such as tin, or by an adhesive.
- This adhesive is advantageously of the thermoplastic type.
- This material can also be constituted by a thermosetting adhesive which reacts during the heating period.
- the embodiments of the container, the lid and the internal wall are not limited to the examples which have just been described.
- the means for closing the container by the lid are similar to those which have been described in document FR-2,669,896, the content of which is included in the present application.
- the container can in particular take the form of a "truck pot", but any other form can be used.
