Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a toy container according to the preamble of
claim 1 for alimentary products. - Numerous containers for alimentary products, which have varying shapes suitable for any type of requirement, exist. A toy container according to the preamble of
claim 1 is known fromEP 0 319 652 A1 . - The most commonly used containers consist of small pots of various shapes and sizes which may be closed by a lid often in a sealed manner so as to prevent the leakage of the food or beverage contained inside said pots.
- Some of the abovementioned containers, usually bottles or small receptacles for drinks, are shaped so as to represent, for example, puppet-like figures or real or imaginary characters which are styled to a greater or lesser degree.
- Usually this type of container is used for children's food with the aim of attracting the attention of the children so that, once the contents have been consumed, the container may also be used as a toy.
- A toy container such as that described above is usually formed by a body of the puppet-like figure, which forms substantially the actual container for the food or beverage, and by limbs rigidly connected as one piece to the said body.
- It is obvious that, once it has been emptied, the abovementioned toy container becomes a totally rigid toy since, as explained above, it is constructed entirely as one piece and is therefore is not very appealing to children.
- In order to make the container more attractive as a toy, it is possible to envisage arms mounted on its walls in a movable manner. This mounting operation could be performed by means of joints making the limbs movable with respect to the body of the container.
- It is obvious that these joints must be necessarily designed so as to ensure that the toy container is sealed against the leakage of food or beverage.
- At the same time, however, the toy container in question should advantageously be easy and low-cost to produce.
- Consequently, there is a pressing need to provide a container for alimentary products, which is able to contain any type of food or beverage and which may be used, once the food or beverage contained therein has been consumed, as a toy provided with movable parts, while nevertheless retaining the characteristic of remaining sealed so as to prevent the leakage of the food or beverage contained therein.
- The problem forming the basis of the present invention is therefore that of devising a toy container for alimentary products, which has structural and functional characteristics such as to satisfy the abovementioned requirements.
- This problem is solved by a toy container for alimentary products, as cited in the accompanying main claim.
- Further characteristic features and advantages of the toy container for alimentary products according to the present invention will emerge from the following description of a preferred example of embodiment thereof, provided by way of a non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying figures, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a toy container according to the invention; -
Figure 1A shows a partially sectioned view of a detail of the toy container according toFigure 1 ; -
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the toy container according to the invention in the assembled condition. - With reference to the accompanying
figures, 1 denotes overall a toy container for alimentary products, comprising anouter tub 2, aninner tub 3 and a lid 4. - The
outer tub 2 has a general shape which is substantially in the form of an overturned truncated cone with a substantially disk-shaped base 5 from which awall 7 extends upwards. - Preferably, the base 5 has an octagonal shape, the
sides 6 of which are in the form of arcs of a circle so as to create an undulating pattern which is also reproduced by thewall 7 of saidouter tub 2. - On the opposite side to the base 5, the
outer tub 2 has a flaredopening 8 delimited by anedge 9 projecting towards the outside of saidouter tub 2. Saidedge 9 also reproduces the undulating pattern of the base 5 and thewall 7 and, moreover, has an undulatingcircular surface 26 located opposite to said base 5. - The
internal surface 10 of thewall 7 of the tub has concavities which follow in a complementary manner the undulating pattern of thewall 7. Moreover, saidinternal surface 10 is provided with astep 11 which also has an undulating pattern matching the undulating pattern of thewall 7. Saidstep 11 is moreover positioned in the vicinity of theedge 9. - The
outer tub 2 is also provided withmovable elements 12 which are articulated with thewall 7 and project from the latter towards the outside. - In accordance with a particular embodiment as shown in the figures, said
movable elements 12 are twoarms 13 with styled hands and twolegs 14 with styled shoes. - Advantageously the
movable elements 12 are connected to thewall 7 of theouter tub 2 in a rotatable manner by means of acylindrical end portion 27 thereof. - As can be seen in the detail of
Figure 1A , in fact, eachcylindrical portion 27 is inserted into thewall 7 with precision through a correspondingcylindrical hole 15 thereof. Saidend portions 27 are also provided with arivet 16 which is formed as one piece and is positioned so as to bear against theinternal surface 10 of thewall 7. - From that which has been described, it is evident that the
movable elements 12 are able to rotate freely with respect to thewall 7 of theouter tub 2. - The
inner tub 3 has a general shape substantially identical - although with slightly smaller dimensions - to that of theouter tub 2, with abase 17, awall 18 and anedge 25 which mate respectively with the base 5,wall 7 andstep 11 of saidouter tub 2. - The lid 4 is formed by an
end surface 19, awall 20 and anedge 21. - In particular, the
wall 20 is a circular band which reproduces the undulating pattern of thewall 7 of theouter tub 2. Saidwall 20 is moreover connected continuously to theend surface 19, which is a substantially flat disk, by means of a lobed connectingzone 22. - The
edge 21 projects towards the outside of the lid 4 at the end of thewall 20 opposite to the connectingzone 22 so as to create astep 23. - Preferably, moreover, said
edge 21 also comprises anundulating rim 24 directed towards the outside. - Hereinbelow assembly of the toy container for alimentary products in accordance with the present invention will now be briefly described.
- First of all the
outer tub 2 is formed by means of injection-moulding or thermoforming of a suitable plastic material such as, for example, PP/PS. Subsequently or during the said forming of saidouter tub 2, theholes 15 passing through thewall 7 are formed. - Then, the
movable elements 12, or arms and legs with respective hands and shoes, are formed separately by means of injection-moulding of a suitable plastic material, such as PVC for example. - These
movable elements 12 thus formed are then inserted through theholes 15 of thewall 7 of theouter tub 2 so that theircylindrical end portion 27 projects slightly from theinternal wall 10 of saidouter tub 2. - At this point, the abovementioned
cylindrical portion 27 of saidmovable elements 12 is heated to a temperature such as to obtain softening of the plastic material which, compressed, forms therivet 16 as one piece with themovable elements 12. - Alternatively, it is possible to remove the
movable elements 12 from the corresponding forming mould when they are still hot and insert them rapidly into theaforementioned hole 15 so as to perform compression of theircylindrical portion 27 when the material thereof is still pliable, and produce saidrivet 16. - Now the
outer tub 2 is ready to receive the correspondinginner tub 3 also created by means of injection-moulding or thermoforming of a suitable plastic material. - The
inner tub 3 is inserted inside theouter tub 2 until theedge 25 of theinner tub 3 comes into bearing contact against thestep 11 of theinternal surface 10 of thewall 7 of theouter tub 2. - From that described hitherto, it is obvious that the external surface of the
inner tub 3 produces a form-fit with theinternal surface 10 of theouter tub 2. - The two tubs, i.e.
inner tub 3 andouter tub 2, may be retained in this position by means of simple interference between points of the respective external and internal surfaces or alternatively ultrasound welding or bonding of the two tubs, i.e.outer tub 2 andinner tub 3, may be performed to ensure perfect assembly thereof. - In particular, the connection created is in any case such as to allow the
rivets 16 of themovable elements 12 to rotate freely and, at the same time, avoid the displacement of the movable elements themselves towards the inside of thetoy container 1. - Finally, the lid 4 is rested on the
outer tub 2 and pressed against it until thestep 23 of the lid comes into bearing contact against theflat surface 26 of theedge 9 of saidouter tub 2, forming a snap-engaged connection. - In order to open the
toy container 1, it is sufficient to apply with the fingers, on therim 24 of the lid 4, a light force directed away from theouter tub 2. - Preferably a self-adhesive label or a silkscreen printed effect which reproduces a face may be applied onto the external surface of the
outer tub 2. - It is now evident that the
toy container 1 for alimentary products is advantageously provided withmovable elements 12 connected rotatably to the toy container itself so as to become a very attractive toy for children, compared to containers of the known art. - At the same time, owing to the provision of an
inner tub 3 which is simple to manufacture, the problems of ensuring a seal against possible leakage of food or beverage contained inside the toy container are solved. - Numerous variations of embodiment of the present invention are possible depending on particular requirements or preferences.
- For example, the shape of the
inner tub 3 andouter tub 2 may be square, rectangular or patterned and likewise the lid 4 may be made to match these shapes or may be different or may also not be provided. - The
movable elements 12 may for example reproduce animal legs or imaginary limbs, which may also be styled and may be mounted on any part of theouter tub 2, also at the base 5. - In
Figure 2 , moreover, the external surface of thewall 7 of theouter tub 2 has a printed design representing a puppet-like face. Alternately, other illustrations may be printed using widely known methods. - The materials used for the manufacture of each part of the toy container for alimentary products may be those normally used in the food sector.
- The toy container for alimentary foods described above is particularly suitable for containing portions of ice-cream. However, said toy container may also be easily adapted so as to contain different alimentary products, such as beverages for example. In fact, it may be provided with mating flaps which are positioned on the
end surface 19 of the lid and which can be opened so as to allow the insertion of a straw for sucking a beverage. - In accordance with a variation of one embodiment which is not part of the present invention, the provision of an inner tub may be avoided by providing sealing elements mounted around the
holes 15 of thewall 7 of theouter tub 2 so as to prevent the leakage of liquids from any gaps between said holes and themovable elements 12. These sealing elements may for example consist of special sleeve-type seals which surround thecylindrical portions 27 of themovable elements 12 located inside the thickness of thehole 15. - Alternatively, it is possible to provide a seat in the wall of the outer tub which is open towards the outside such as to receive in an articulated manner said movable elements.
- As can be appreciated from that described, the toy container for alimentary products according to the invention is able to satisfy the requirements referred to in the introductory part of the present description.
- Obviously a person skilled in the art, in order to satisfy contingent and specific requirements, may make numerous modifications and variations to the toy container for alimentary products described above, all of which are moreover contained within the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
