Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a container for food of a type having a double bottom wall so as to define two containing regions, closed and separate therebetween.
  • first type of double bottom container the same comprises a first cylinder-shaped body provided with a bottom wall to which a second container, of same diameter and it also having a bottom wall, is removably coupled.
  • second container of same diameter and it also having a bottom wall
  • the two containers can be made of alike or of different materials, and their connection generates a single container provided with two volumes separate therebetween.
  • This type of container is widely employed for foods envisaging the consumption of several ingredients originally distinct thereamong.
  • this type of two-volume container entails a drawback in that it consists of plural components or bodies separate thereamong, making it scarcely practical from the viewpoint of the post-use disposal, as well as of the environmental impact thereof.
  • the same provides a single body apt to contain a partitioning member therein, so as to generate, upon being assembled, a container with two volumes separate therebetween.
  • the separation of the two volumes occurs by tearing a container region according to preferential weakening lines obtained onto the container wall.
  • Food containers having two containing regions are disclosed in US-A-1 889 111, US-A-1 961 535, US-A-2 611 499, US-A-4 923 702, US-A-4 078 686, US-A-6 140-932, US-A-5,123,190, US-A-3 920 120 and DE-C-884 473. None of them can provide detachable opening means formed in a one-piece peripheral wall obtained form a plain blank.
  • object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks providing a double bottom container offering the optional access to the content in the two separate volumes with no need to separate the container body into plural detached parts.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a two-volume and double bottom container having an opening of the two volumes which is eased to the utmost and being highly practical from the viewpoint of the post-use disposal, as well as of the environmental impact thereof.
  • the present invention provides a container as defined in appended claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 a plane blank 1 that, upon being assembled, will make a container 10 according to the present invention, is illustrated.
  • the blank is arc-shaped, with a height equivalent to that of the container 10 to be made therefrom upon assembling.
  • a first and a second creasing 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the first creasing 2 serves as means for engaging a first closing member 4 apt to define an inner partition of the container 10, thereby defining two volumes separate therebetween.
  • the second creasing 3 is apt to serve as means for engaging a second removable closing member 4 that is apt to close the top opening of the container 10 (not shown in the figure and better illustrated hereinafter).
  • the blank 1 has, at the bottom edge region thereof, a preferential tearing line 5 extending along almost the full length of the blank 1. Furthermore, the preferential tearing line has a region 6 cooperating with a user's finger so as to promote the opening of the bottom region of the container 1 once assembled (better illustrated hereinafter).
  • the container 10 of the present invention is illustrated.
  • the invention provides that upon assembling the blank 1 the container 10 be generated, having a side wall 11 and a bottom wall 12 applied during the forming thereof.
  • the container 10 thus generated is substantially frustocone-shaped and it has a bottom wall, in a manner per se already known in the art.
  • the first closing member 4 substantially cup-shaped and with a projecting edge.
  • the shape of the closing member is such that its edge is apt to engage in a fixed manner onto the creasing 2 obtained onto the wall 11 and to rest thereon by virtue of the taper of the wall 11.
  • the taper of the member 4 is intentionally gauged to that of the wall 11, so as to provide the seal thereof onto the wall 11 upon being located thereon.
  • the second creasing 3 is apt to removably lock a second closing member 7 that is apt to close the top region of the container 10.
  • the closing member 7 is substantially disc-shaped in order to be easily removable by pulling a projecting section 8 thereof as per se already known.
  • the container 10 is illustrated in an opened condition. More precisely, after applying a tearing force onto the preferential tearing line region 6, by a mere pressure exerted by a user's finger, the region 6 yields and comes off the wall 11, thereby creating a port wherein a wall section 11 can be gripped and the detached, by tearing along the preferential tearing line 5.
  • the specific arrangement of the preferential tearing line 5 along the wall 11 is such as to allow a separation of the sections, yet not a total detaching thereof.
  • the practicality of use is remarkably improved and the opening of the two volumes is eased to the utmost.
  • keeping adjoined the distinct sections the problem of its disposal is solved and also the environmental impact thereof is lessened.
