Definitions

  • the invention relates to foodstuffs to be mixed, one of which, in the long run, may alter the other and which must therefore be kept well separated from one another until their mutual accommodation, if we want to store them and present them for sale together, as part of ready meals or almost ready for consumption.
  • a set of two containers allowing two foodstuffs to be mixed before consumption is known from DE-U-298 20504, in which the means for closing the second container and the means for opening the containers are arranged so that those they can punch those.
  • the mixture of products can not, with these containers, be carried out under conditions of perfect hygiene.
  • the invention of the present application therefore relates to a set of two containers according to claim 1.
  • the mixture of foodstuffs can be carried out inside the first container still provided with its closing means.
  • the second container is a capsule comprising a closure cap and the first container may comprise a closure lid in which the capsule is integrated or having a receptacle receiving housing provided with a bottom communicating at least partially with the inside the container.
  • the closing means of the second container and their opening means are arranged so that the action thereof on these is conditioned by a maneuver of the consumer.
  • the assembly represented in FIGS. 1-4 comprises a first container 1, here in the form of a bowl, with its lid 2.
  • the bowl 1 and its lid 2 are both globally hemispherical, of common axis 12, the radius of the lid 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 a good seal, and the opening of the first container 1. In this case, there is a cooperation by clip.
  • the closure edge (3, 4) of the container 1 also makes it possible to affix a ring 5 made of heat-shrinkable film for the inviolability of the container.
  • the bowl 1 and its container 2 are advantageously made of thermoformed plastic material or injected. As material, we will take an opaque or transparent material, of elemental and recyclable quality.
  • thermoforming By plastic transformation, here by thermoforming, has been created in the lid 2, and which it forms an integral part, a second container 6, open to the bowl 1, in the closed position of the lid 2 on the bowl 1.
  • the second container 6, in the form of a capsule has a generally annular edge 7 extending substantially in the same plane as the edge 4 of the lid 2.
  • the capsule 6 has a generally slightly frustoconical side wall 8, flared towards the edge 7 and tapering downwards. 9 to a bottom 9 roughly representing the top of the cover 2.
  • a portion 10 of the edge 7 is straight, the corresponding wall portion being flat, 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 the lid 2, whereby a plurality of lids, such as the one just described, can to be stacked on top of each other in a sheaf.
  • the closure means of the capsule 6 comprise a lid 13, of shape adapted to the edge 7, 10 of the capsule, generally cylindrical and which is extended by a tongue of width substantially smaller than the diameter of the lid, which is folded on itself, after closure of the capsule by the lid, around a fold zone 15 extending to the right of the rectilinear portion 10 of the edge of the capsule, to be able to easily release the cap of the capsule, pulling on the tongue.
  • Attachment of the cap 13 is performed here by welding its annular edge 16 (15) on the corresponding edge 7 (10) of the capsule.
  • the tongue 14 is long enough to extend beyond the edge of its lid 2.
  • the capsule 6 is filled with a seasoning sauce and the capsule 6 is closed, constituting a reserve of sauce, by sealing the lid 13 by its edge. 16 along the edge 7, 10 of the capsule.
  • the lid 2 is then placed on the edge 1, taking care to engage the tongue 14 between the two elements so that it protrudes out of the bowl, the adhesive end 17 of the tongue is fixed against the wall outside the bowl, then the lid 2 is clipped on the bowl 1, before wrap the edge of the two elements 1, 2 of a heat-shrinked ring tamper 5.
  • FIGS. 5-8 differs from the previous one by the capsule-receiving housing integrated in the bowl, more specifically the lid of the bowl.
  • the portions of the annular clip of the border of the bowl and its lid are inverted, but without affecting the essential features to be protected by the present application.
  • a well 21' (here frustoconical, flared outwards and provided with a circular bottom 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 receiving housing of a reserve capsule (sauce) 26', similar to the capsule 6 with a closure cap 24 ', but without tab, welded to the annular edge 25' of the capsule.
  • the wall 27 'of the receiving well comprises locking ribs 28', here four, in axial planes 90 ° to each other and interposed between those of the 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 of the four ribs forming an annular groove for receiving and locking the edge 25 'of the capsule.
  • the ramps 29 'of the four ribs become narrower on the axis 34', from the opening edge 32 'to the groove 31', and the ramps 30 'deviate from the axis 34' from the groove 31 'to the bottom 22'.
  • the teeth 23 ' rise, in the well 21', into an axial plane disposed 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 both sides of the gorge 31 '.
  • the bowl 1 'and the capsule 26' having been filled as previously, for the presentation of the assembly, after having returned the capsule 26 ', its edge 25' and its closing cap 24 'turned towards the edge 22', one introduced the capsule 26 'in the housing 21' until its edge 25 'naturally abut against the ramps 29' of the ribs 28 ', below the grooves 31'; then the capsule 26 'is pushed, to make it cross slightly forcibly ramps 29', very slightly deforming the edge 25 ', and that this edge 25' is thus received and maintained in the locking position in the four grooves 31 spaced apart from the plane tangent to the perforation teeth 23 '.
  • the consumer Before consumption, and having also removed the tamper-evident ring, to partly open the capsule 26 ', that is to say by piercing openings in the lid 24', by perforation by the teeth 23 ', the consumer must push on the capsule, in the same direction as when it was placed in the locking position to unlock the capsule, that is to say to cross the edge 25 'ramps 30', still slightly to force and until this edge 25 'bears against the bottom 22', wedged by the ramps 30 ', the teeth 23' having begun to perforate the seal 24 'from the crossing of the groove 31'.
  • the capsule 26 'then being partially open and in communication with the interior of the bowl 1', it is possible, as before, to mix the two commodities.
  • a well 21" was created, like the well 21 ', with a bottom 22 "identical to the bottom 22', with the perforated sectors 33" and the radial perforation ribs 23 ", tooth.
  • the well 21 “serves as receiving housing for a reserve capsule (sauce) 26", with a closing cap 24 "welded to the annular edge 25" of the capsule.
  • the capsule 26 has a bottom 35" shaped to fit the bottom 22 “of its receiving housing 21"; also, the capsule bottom 35 “has three grooves 36" for receiving the teeth 23 ".
  • the capsule 26 has been depressed slightly forcibly into the three teeth 23 ", the capsule is, as it were, locked in position For security, it has been provided, on the wall 27 "of the receiving well 21", lugs 37 ", which fully ensure the locking of the capsule before mixing, and that the edge 25" of the capsule can cross in one direction as in the other, thanks to their double ramps, which allows to change capsule easily.
  • the bowl 1 "and the capsule 26" having been filled, still as before, for the presentation of the assembly, without returning the capsule, it is introduced into the housing 21 "until its bottom 35" s' engages on the teeth 23 "and then gets stuck on them, in locking position.
  • the capsule 26 Before consumption, the capsule 26 "is unhooked from the teeth 23", and moved away from its locking position, it is removed from the housing 21 ", it is turned over (FIG. 12), to present its edge 25" and its operculum closing 24 "to the bottom 22", it is reintroduced into the housing 21 ", it pushes on the capsule, first so that its edge 25” crosses the pins 37 “and then continues to push until its edge 25 "arrives in perforation position, bearing against the bottom 22", the teeth 23 "having begun to perforate the seal 24" from the crossing of the pins 37 "by the cap edge 25".
  • the capsule 26 being then partly open and in communication with the interior of the bowl 1", one can proceed to the mixture of the two commodities.
