Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved closure for containers for food or the like.
  • closures for containers of this type are constituted by the Spanish Utility Models U-9901751 and U-9902586 from the same applicant.
  • the improved closure for food containers or similar starts from a different basic principle, which is to close between them by rotation and not by clipping the parts of the container.
  • the parties of the container - base and cover - must be bodies with revolution or, at least, admit the possibility of a rotational movement between them with some angular amplitude.
  • the closure takes place once the base and the cover are face to face, by rotating the cover relative to the base with an angular amplitude limited by the stops; in this slight rotation, the tabs of the cover are retained by the base tabs, adjusting with their unidirectional ramp.
  • the stroke limitation stops are distributed by pairs close to one of these extra-flat and diametrically opposite tabs, at the based.
  • the cover has, on its outer perimeter, at least one generatural protuberance, which facilitates rotation relative to the base when opening or closing.
  • Figure 1 shows a general section in height of a closure according to the invention, installed on a container for food use, of those which are structured in a body-tray (1) -base base- and a body-closure -base lid.
  • Figure 2 shows, in general section similar to Figure 1, two stacked containers. Each of them has a closure according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows a general plan view - Figure 3 - and section / profile -figure 3b- of the base (1) corresponding to Figures 1 and 2, for an example of practical realization.
  • Figure 4 shows a general plan view - Figure 4 - and height / section -figures 4b- of the cover (2) corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 2, for a practical example.
  • the present invention relates to an improved closure for receptacles for food use or the like, of those structured in two parts: a base (1) and a cover (2) of thin plastic material, obtained by molding.
  • One of the parts - in particular the base (1) - has a larger rigidity in construction than the other - especially the cover (2) - and they are of a different material (at least visually), although they may be of the same material-with a similar or different density - and have the same rigidity of construction in as regards the two parts - base (1) and cover (2) -.
  • the base (1) defines a plurality of extra flat tabs (11) which emerge radially towards inside the contour areas.
  • extra-flat tabs (11) define an ergonomic contour, in particular a concave-fronto-inferior zone which facilitates or contributes to self-positioning of the corresponding ramp tongue (21).
  • the base (11) also defines stops (12) which limit the stroke.
  • these stops are distributed in pairs close to some of these extra flat tabs (11) -see figure 3 a-.
  • the cover (2) defines, corresponding in its positioning to each tab extra flat (11), a ramped tongue (11) which is dimensionally combined with the extra flat tongue (11) which has a progressively increasing height from a end.
  • the opening / closing between the parts (1) and (2) takes place by rotation of the parts (1) and (2) previously placed face to face.
  • the tongues (11), (21) are angularly out of phase and, by rotating the cover (2) relative to the base (1), the ramp tabs (21) are are housed between the extra flat tabs (11) and the base body (1).
  • Auto-tuning is progressive thanks to the ramp configuration of the tongues (21); at the beginning, they stay easily and, as the height of the tongues (21) increases, the existing play is counteracted and their self-adjustment takes place by tightening.
  • the limit of this race i.e. the closed position
  • cover (2) generatural protrusions (22) on its lateral perimeter -see Figures 1 and 4b-, which act as a handle or stopper, in order to facilitate the manipulation in rotation of this cover (2) relative to the base (1).
