Definitions

  • the invention relates to foodstuffs to be mixed, one of which, long, can alter the other and must therefore be kept well separated from each other, up to their mutual accommodation, if we want to store them and present them for sale together, as part of ready or almost ready-to-eat dishes.
  • the invention therefore relates to a set of two containers intended for each contain at least one foodstuff, the two foodstuffs to be mixed before consumption, and their respective closing means, the whole comprising opening means arranged for, in the closed position of the means for closing a first container, at least partially opening the means of closing the second container and establishing communication between the two containers.
  • the mixing of the foodstuffs can be carried out inside the first container still provided with its closing means, consequently in perfect hygienic conditions.
  • the means for closing the second container and their opening means are arranged so that the action of these on those is conditioned by a consumer move.
  • the means for closing the second container and their opening means are arranged so that these can release these from the second container.
  • the means for closing the second container include a cover extended by an opening tab which can be folded down the cover may extend out of the first container.
  • the second container is an integral part of the first container, advantageously of its closing means.
  • the closing means of the second container and their opening means are arranged so that these can perforate those.
  • the assembly may include perforation means integral with the first container and the second container is mounted on the first container to be moved from a locking position, in which the means for closure of the second container are moved away from the perforation means, at a position perforation, in which communication between the two containers is established.
  • the assembly can be arranged so that the second container reaches the perforation position after a unidirectional movement.
  • the second container may include a peripheral edge annular
  • the first container may include locking ribs arranged to receive the edge of the second container, keep it in position locking but also allow its unlocking.
  • the assembly can also be arranged so that the second container reaches the perforation position after turning over.
  • the second container may have a shaped bottom for receiving the perforation means, in the locked position.
  • the second container is a capsule comprising a closure lid and the first container may have a closure lid in which the capsule is integrated or having a housing for receiving the capsule provided with a bottom communicating at least partially with the interior of the container.
  • the assembly represented in FIGS. 1-4 comprises a first container 1, here in the shape of a bowl, with its cover 2.
  • the bowl 1 and its cover 2 are both generally hemispherical, of common axis 12, the radius of the cover being much larger than the radius of the bowl.
  • the edges 3, 4 of the bowl and its lid (border) are shaped to allow good cooperation between the two and ensure easy closure, with good sealing, and the opening of this first container 1. In this case, a clip cooperation.
  • the border (3, 4) for closing the container 1 also allows the affixing of a ring 5 of heat-shrinkable film for the inviolability of the container.
  • the bowl 1 and its container 2 are advantageously made of material thermoformed or injected plastic. As material, we will take an opaque material or transparent, of elementary quality and recyclable.
  • thermoforming By plastic transformation, here by thermoforming, we created, in the cover 2, of which it is an integral part, a second container 6, open towards the bowl 1, in the closed position of the cover 2 on the bowl 1.
  • the second container 6, in capsule shape has a generally annular edge 7 extending substantially in the same plane as the edge 4 of the cover 2.
  • the capsule 6 has a wall lateral 8 generally slightly frustoconical, flared towards the edge 7 and narrowing up to a bottom 9 roughly representing the top of the cover 2.
  • a portion 10 edge 7 is straight, the corresponding wall portion being planar, for a reason which will be presented below.
  • the capsule 6 extends inside a well 11 thermoformed with it and, conversely, open towards the outside of cover 2, thanks to what, a plurality of covers, like the one just described, can be piled on top of each other in a sheaf.
  • the closure means of the capsule 6 comprise a cover 13, of shape adapted to the edge 7, 10 of the capsule, generally cylindrical and which extends by a tongue of width significantly less than the diameter of the cover, which is flap on itself, after closure of the capsule by the cover, around an area of fold 15 extending in line with the rectilinear portion 10 of the edge of the capsule, in order to be able easily release the cap from the capsule, pulling on the tab.
  • the cover 13 is fixed here by welding its edge annular 16 (15) on the corresponding edge 7 (10) of the capsule.
  • the tongue 14 is long enough to extend beyond the edge of its cover 2.
  • annular shoulder 18 for receiving a disc 19, by cardboard example, serving as a data carrier for identifying the foodstuffs contained in the containers.
  • the assembly shown in Figures 5-8 differs from the previous one by the capsule receiving housing integrated in the bowl, more precisely in the bowl lid.
  • the parts of the annular clip of border of the bowl and its cover are reversed, but without affecting the essential characteristics to be protected by this request.
  • a well 21' (here frustoconical, flared towards the outside and provided with a bottom circular 22 '.
  • the bottom 22 ' is perforated on three angular sectors 33' separated by three radial perforation ribs 23 ', tooth-shaped.
  • the well 21 ' serves as a housing for receiving a reserve capsule (of sauce) 26 ', similar to capsule 6 with a 24' closure, but without tab, welded to the annular edge 25 'of the capsule.
  • the wall 27 'of the receiving well has locking ribs 28 ', here four, in axial planes at 90 ° from each other and interspersed between those of perforation teeth 23 '.
  • Each rib 28 ' has two ramps 29', 30 'inclined in opposite directions and separated by a groove portion 31 ', the four groove portions four ribs forming an annular groove for receiving and locking the edge 25 'from the capsule.
  • the ramps 29 'of the four ribs tighten on the axis 34', from the opening edge 32 'to the groove 31', and the ramps 30 'deviate from the axis 34' from the throat 31 'to the bottom 22'.
  • the teeth 23 ' rise, in the well 21', into an axial plane arranged slightly below the axial plane of the groove 31 '.
  • the outer diameter of the annular edge 25 'of the capsule 26' is substantially equal to that of the bottom 22 'of the housing 21', smaller than that of the opening 32 'but larger than those of the passage openings defined by the ramps 29 ', 30', just on either side of the grooves 31 '.
  • the bowl 1 'and the capsule 26' having been filled as before, for the presentation of the assembly, after having turned the capsule 26 ′, its edge 25 ′ and its closure cap 24 'facing edge 22', insert capsule 26 'into the housing 21 'until its edge 25' naturally comes up against the ramps 29 'of the ribs 28', below the grooves 31 '; then push the capsule 26 ', for him force the ramps 29 'to pass slightly, deforming the edge very slightly 25 ', and that this edge 25' is thus received and kept in the locked position in the four grooves 31 spaced from the plane tangent to the perforation teeth 23 '.
  • the consumer Before consumption, and having also removed the tamper-evident ring, to partially open the capsule 26 ′, that is to say by piercing openings in the cover 24 ', by perforation through the teeth 23', the consumer must push on the capsule, in the same direction as when it was placed in the locked position for unlock the capsule, that is to make the ramps 30 'pass at the edge 25', always slightly by force and until this edge 25 'is pressing against the bottom 22 ', trapped by the ramps 30', the teeth 23 'having started to perforate the cover 24' from the crossing of the gorge 31 '.
  • the capsule 26 'then being partly open and in communication with inside the bowl 1 ', we can, as before, mix the two commodities.
  • a well 21" has been created, like the well 21 ', with a bottom 22 "identical to bottom 22 ', with openwork sectors 33' 'and the radial ribs of 23 "perforation, tooth-shaped.
  • the 21 "well serves as receiving housing for a reserve capsule (of sauce) 26 ", with a closing lid 24" welded on the annular edge 25 "of the capsule.
  • the 26 "capsule has a bottom 35" shaped to match the bottom 22 " from its receiving housing 21 "; also, the capsule bottom 35” has three grooves 36 “for receiving teeth 23".
  • the capsule 26 "in the three teeth 23" the capsule is practically locked in storage and display position.
  • lugs 37 which fully ensure the locking of the capsule before mixing, and that the 25 "edge of the capsule can cross in one direction as in the other, thanks to their double ramps, which allows to change capsules easily.
  • the capsule 26 Before consumption, the capsule 26 "is peeled from the teeth 23", and move it away from its locked position, remove it from the 21 “housing, turn it over (figure 12), to present its 25 “edge and its 24” closing cap towards the bottom 22 ", we put it back into the housing 21", we push on the capsule, first so that its edge 25 "crosses the pins 37” then we continue to push it until its edge 25 "arrives in the perforation position, pressing against the bottom 22", the teeth 23 "having started to perforate the cover 24" as soon as the pins 37 "are crossed by the edge of the 25 "capsule.
