Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an element for covering the upper part of at least one article, typically a container for food or non-food substances.
  • a container for food or non-food substances typically a container for food or non-food substances.
  • cans i.e. containers comprising a generally cylindrical hollow body of tinplate with a lid seam-joined to its mouth, however the description is also valid for similar containers of cardboard, plastic or glass, with a snap-fitted, screw-fitted or tear-off lid.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a cover element enabling publicity or other material to be associated with the can, such as leaflets containing information regarding the van contents, or a substance or element to use generally together with said contents, and/or any type of gift.
  • a further object is to provide a cover element structured in such a manner as to oppose the unauthorized removal of the article, gift or the like associated with the can or the like.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a cover element able to protect the top of the can against soiling and/or contamination.
  • Another object is to provide an element able to be quickly and easily associated with the can.
  • a further object is to provide a cover element which can be constructed easily, rapidly and comfortably at low cost.
  • the element in question is formed from a generally thin synthetic sheet which is subjected to thermoforming to obtain a profiled body the plan shape of which encloses that of at least one can.
  • the shape of a cap intended to be fitted in the manner of a hood onto the top of the can, where it provides an article-carrying compartment above the can lid and a peripheral member in correspondence with the upper terminal part of the can body for its engagement therewith.
  • the can 1 comprises a cylindrical body 10, with a base and lid, indicated respectively by 11 and 12, seam-joined to its lower and upper openings.
  • Said element 2 is associated with the top of the can 1 and is generally in the form of a cap of circular plan, the diameter of which is slightly greater than that of the can 1.
  • Said element 2 consists of a profiled body obtained by thermoforming starting from a generally thin sheet of a generally rigid flexible synthetic material.
  • Said starting sheet can be of any constituent synthetic material provided it is suitable for thermoforming.
  • Said starting sheet is preferably transparent and can have any thickness suitable for the purpose, for example 0.15-2.50 mm.
  • the element 2 is shaped overall as an inverted bowl with a re-entering edge (see Figures 1 and 3), able to act as a hood for the upper part of the can 1.
  • Said bowl, or hood is obtained by superposing and joining together two thermoformed pieces, namely a concave upper piece and an annular lower piece.
  • Said joint is made by a suitable method, such as electric bonding, gluing, etc.
  • Said upper concave piece of said hood consists of a circular based dome ( Figures 2 and 3) having a diameter greater than that of the can 1 and presenting a projecting ledge 21 along its entire periphery.
  • the lower annular piece of the said hood comprises a frusto-conical band 22 presenting at its top a projecting ledge 210 along its entire periphery., and below that a descending cylindrical skirt 23.
  • the ledge 210 is exactly superposable on the ledge 21, the two being joined together as already stated.
  • the inner diameter of the skirt 23 is greater than the outer diameter of the seam-joined edge of the lid 12 of the can 1. From the lower edge of the skirt 23 there extends along the entire periphery a re-entering ledge 24 from which there extends a descending collar 25 having an inner diameter just less than the outer diameter of the seam-joined edge of the lid 12 of the can 1.
  • the lip 26 has an inclination of about 45°, has a pointed free edge, and extends along the entire circumference of the collar 25.
  • the inner circumferential tip of said pointed edge forms an opening, the diameter of which is of the same order of magnitude as the outer diameter of the body 10 of the can 1.
  • the element 2 is firstly placed on the can 1 via the lip 26, and then thrust downwards in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the can 1.
  • the element 2 is removed in the reverse manner, i.e. by pulling the element 2 upwards while holding the can 1.
  • an article-carrying compartment indicated by 33 in Figure 4, which is advantageously separated from the atmosphere, is made available above the lid 12.
  • At least one article for example publicity material, leaflets containing information on the contents of the tin 1, substances or elements to be used either in combination with said contents or nor, and/or also a gift, can be placed in said compartment 33.
  • the lip 26 provides a coupling tooth which is engaged below the upper rim of the can 1 to oppose, subject to its breakage, the unauthorized removal of the contents of the compartment 33.
