Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container consisting of two receptacles which can be assembled by one of their faces.
  • the invention will find its application particularly for the packaging of various products and in particular of products liquids.
  • the containers could thus consist of cans for the packaging of various liquids.
  • a container consisting of two receptacles which can be joined reversibly one in relation to the other.
  • the container is characterized in that the two containers are each joined at at least one of their faces, the face or faces concerned comprising fixing means which are invisible when the two containers form the container.
  • this container can only occur in limited configurations of by the design of the fixing means.
  • the invention overcomes the drawbacks of current containers and present to do this a new container made up of two assembled containers.
  • This container has the advantage of allowing assembly of two containers very characteristic and efficient.
  • the assembly means used are also perfectly achievable in the mass of the containers, especially when these are made of molded plastic.
  • the present invention also has the advantage of offering a container of a very particular and susceptible form to attract the public in both practical and aesthetic terms.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of the container according the invention consisting of two containers.
  • Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively show a front, side, bottom and top view of one of the containers constituting the container of the present invention.
  • the present invention is a container 1 constituted as shown in Figure 1 of two containers 2, 3.
  • This assembly face 6a also appears in view of opposite figure 2.
  • each of the assembly faces 6a, 6b has a particular configuration characteristic of the invention.
  • the two containers 2, 3 are substantially identical and have assembly faces 6a, 6b formed similarly.
  • the containers 2, 3 could be different, in particular in some of their dimensions and for example following the direction transverse 17.
  • the assembly face 6a, 6b first comprises a recess 7 in the transverse direction.
  • the transverse axis is marked 17 in FIG. 4.
  • the step 7 constitutes a change in thickness of the container and has a groove 8.
  • This groove comprises a bottom 9 and an edge 10.
  • the assembly face 6a, 6b includes a lower stop 11 as illustrated in figure 2.
  • the lower stop 11 is a flat surface 19 oriented towards the base of the container making protruding from the base of the container 2, 3.
  • Each container 2, 3 further comprises a stop upper able to cooperate with the lower stop in applying to the flat surface 19 of said abutment lower 11.
  • the two containers 2, 3 having an assembly face 6a, 6b thus configured are able to cooperate in the way next.
  • the grooves 8 cooperate by inserting the edge 10 of one of the assembly faces 6a in the bottom 9 of the other assembly face 6b. The converse is also performed. This cooperation is perfectly illustrated in the figure 1.
  • the cooperation of the grooves 8 allows blocking of the relative transverse displacement of two containers 2, 3.
  • the lower stops 11 and upper provide a longitudinal locking of the two containers 2, 3.
  • the stop upper is constituted by the plug 5 closing the opening containers 2, 3.
  • This variant is particularly suitable for packaging liquid products for which the presence of a plug 5 cooperating with a thread 14 of the containers 2, 3 is often used.
  • plug 5 for the purpose of constituting the upper stop to the advantage of requiring no means additional to constitute said stop. So the face lower 18 of current design of the plug 5 will constitute the upper stop.
  • the grooves 8 will be preferably a rounded profile like the one illustrated in figure 3.
  • the absence of sharp angles favors the positioning of each edge 10 in each bottom 9 of the opposite grooves 8.
  • the container further comprises means for lateral locking of the two containers 2, 3.
  • the lateral locking means are formed of at least one cavity formed on the assembly face 6a, 6b of one of the containers 2, 3 and of a relief formed on the assembly face 6a, 6b of the other container 2, 3.
  • the cavity and the relief are formed so as to cooperate, the relief fitting into the cavity.
  • the cavity is a groove 12 as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5.
  • the relief will be a protruding line 13 also appearing in FIG. 2 but also in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the cavity and the relief are of a great length, which ensures high efficiency in the lateral locking of the two containers 2, 3.
  • the two containers 2, 3 are made of plastic and can be molded by any known means.
  • the stopper is preferably positioned lower 11 at a distance from the base 4 of the container 2, 3 substantially corresponding to the thickness of the plug 5.
