Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lid for closing pots food.
- Closure cans for food pots are known from the nesting on the food pots is not done automatically, hermetic and inviolable.
- This type of cover entails a risk of opening unannounced that can be problematic when the food in the pot is intended for infants whose food should be kept sterile.
- Other known installations of the prior art such as those described in the patent applications WO 03/022703 and GB 2 250 271 are constituted a lower part and an upper part connected together by a flexible hinge allowing the folding of the upper part on the part lower. However, these facilities do not have a handle allowing the user to wear the food pot.
- the lid described in the application for patent WO 03/022703 has means for automatic nesting and hermetic on a pot but it does not have an integrated spoon for the handling of the food contained.
- the lid described in the application for GB 2 250 271 has an integrated spoon, initially fixed on the lid by breakable legs, but this one can not be, after its first use, stored in the pot without being in contact with the food in the pot, which again raises a problem of sterility since the user is likely to have deposited germs on, for example the handle of the spoon when handling.
- lids whose shape is known is not suitable for stacking on top of each other when storage before putting on the pot or to stack the pots with of their cover on each other, which poses problems congestion and instability of storage.
- the object of the invention is to propose to solve one or more of the following purposes, namely, a lid for closing food containers having the advantage of allowing automatic, hermetic nesting and inviolable lid on the pot, easy port of the pot through a handle on the cover also allowing protection of the closure system, a stacking lids or pots with their lid and a handling of the food thanks to an integrated spoon that can be fixed in the lid and without contact with the food to prevent contamination of the food by germs.
- the integrated spoon consists of a rod-shaped handle connected at one end to a shaped cavity half hollow ball, and in that it is initially fixed substantially horizontally, in the plane of the ring formed by the lower part, by small removable tabs, scored during the first use of the spoon and connecting the other end of the handle to the bottom of the lid, the complementary means allowing the attachment of the spoon on the part the bottom of the lid, after at least a first use, consisting of a notch present at the latter end of the handle of the spoon and complementary shape to a lug formed on the upper surface of the part lower.
- the integrated spoon consists of a rod-shaped handle connected at one end to a shaped cavity half hollow ball, and in that it is initially fixed substantially horizontally, in the plane of the ring formed by the lower part, by small removable tabs, scored during the first use of the spoon and connecting the other end of the handle to the bottom of the lid, the complementary means allowing the attachment of the spoon on the part the bottom of the lid, after at least a first use, consisting of a notch present at the latter end of the handle of the spoon and complementary shape to a stud formed on the inner edge of the lower part.
- the integrated spoon consists of a rod-shaped handle connected at one end to a shaped cavity half hollow ball, and in that it is initially fixed substantially horizontally, in the plane of the ring formed by the lower part, by small removable tabs, scored during the first use of the spoon and connecting the other end of the handle to the bottom of the lid, the complementary means allowing the attachment of the spoon on the part the bottom of the lid, after at least a first use, consisting of a notch present at the latter end of the handle of the spoon and complementary shape to a hook formed on the inner edge of the part lower.
- the integrated spoon consists of a rod-shaped handle connected at one end to a shaped cavity half hollow ball, and in that it is initially fixed substantially horizontally, in the plane of the ring formed by the lower part, by small removable tabs, scored during the first use of the spoon and connecting the other end of the handle to the bottom of the lid, the complementary means allowing the attachment of the spoon on the part the bottom of the lid, after at least a first use, consisting of a housing formed on the inner edge of the lower part and of shape complementary to the shape of this last end of the handle of the spoon to insert in this housing.
- the lower and upper parts of the closing lid of food jars have, in their side diametrically opposed to the hinge linking them to each other, respectively the female part of a tamper-evident closure system consisting of two legs fixed sides linking the lower part of the lid to a removable plate which will be broken during the first opening of the lid and the male part, being consists of a lug coming to fit into the female part and under the edge outer part of the lower part of the lid and whose dimensions are determined to allow the opening of the lid after destruction of the removable plate of the female part of the closure system.
- the lower part of the lid of closure of food jars has on its outer edge, on both sides of the axis formed by the flexible hinge and the closure system, two axes rotating each constituted by a short stem with a disc at its end on which are fitted notches fixing a handle, initially attached to the corresponding sides of the upper part of the lid by small breakable paws when first using the handle which, after closing the upper part of the lid on the part lower, fits automatically on the rotational axes of the part bottom of the lid.
- the handle is of sufficient size to allow when folded towards the tamper-proof closure system, the protection of the closure system of the lid.
- the outer surface of the upper part the lid of closing food jars has a particular shape with in particular on its periphery an entire or partial circular grooving of diameter corresponding to the diameter of the inner edge of the lower part allowing the stacking of closed lids on each other or open on each other in staggered rows.
- the outer surface of the upper part lid closure of food jars has a recess circular diameter corresponding to the diameter of the bottom of the pots allowing stacking pots with their lid on top of each other.
- the lower part consists of a annular ring and in that the groove forming by the inner flanges and outer part of the lower part is circular so as to be of suitable shape to the pot on which it is intended to be nested.
- the lower part consists of a rectangular ring and in that the groove forming by the inner edges and outer part of the lower part is also rectangular, so as to be shape adapted to the pot on which it is intended to be nested.
- the lower part consists of a square ring and in that the groove forming by the inner and outer flanges of the lower part is also square, so as to be of adapted form to the pot on which it is intended to be nested.
- the invention consists of a lid for closing food containers.
- a lid for closing food containers.
- Such cover consists of a lower part (I, fig.1a and 1b), ring-shaped, for example circular, having a groove, having external edges (I1, fig.2a and 2b) and internal (I2, fig.2a and 2b) enveloping the rim (P) of a pot, by example curved outward.
- rim enveloping the rim (P) of a pot, by example curved outward.
- lugs I3, fig.2a
- the shape of the lid according to the invention may naturally be modified depending on the shape of the pot on which it is intended to be nested. So, if the pot that the lid is intended to cover is of rectangular section or square, it is obvious that the lid will have, respectively, also a rectangular or square shape.
- This lower part is secured by a flexible hinge (C, fig. 1a and 2a) of an upper portion (S) in the form of a cover, to fold over the lower part ( Figures 1a and 1b) and having at the periphery a lip (S1, fig. 2b) coming to cover a portion (I4) of the lower part ( Figures 2a and 3b).
- the lower (I) and upper (S) parts of the closure cover of food jars have, on their side diametrically opposed to the hinge (C) binding them to each other, respectively the female part (F, fig.1a) a tamper-proof closure system consisting of two fixed side brackets binding the lower part of the lid to a removable plate (F2, fig.1a) which will be broken during the first opening of the lid and the male part (M, fig.1a), consisting of a lug coming to fit into the female part and under the outer edge of the lower part of the lid and whose dimensions are determined to allow the opening of the lid after destruction and removal the removable plate (F2) of the female part (F) of the closure system.
- a tamper-proof closure system consisting of two fixed side brackets binding the lower part of the lid to a removable plate (F2, fig.1a) which will be broken during the first opening of the lid and the male part (M, fig.1a), consisting of a lug coming to fit
- the lower part (I) of the lid for closing food containers has on its outer edge, on both sides of the axis formed by the hinge flexible and closing system, two axes of rotation (R, Fig. 1 a) each with a short stem (R1, Fig. 3b) with a disc at its end (R2, fig. 3b) on which are fastened fixing notches (A1, Figs 1a and 3b) a handle (A, Fig. 1 and 3b), initially secured to the corresponding sides of the upper part of the lid by small tabs (A2, Figs 1a and 3b).
- These small legs (A2) are breakable when the first use of the handle, so that after closing the upper part of the lid on the lower part, the fixing notches (A1) of the handle (A) are fixed automatically on the axes of rotation (R) of the lower part of the lid. Then, the notches (A1) for fixing the handle (A) being interlocked on the axes (R) of rotation of the lower part (I), the opening of the lid causes the breaking of the small legs (A2) connecting the handle (A) to the part superior (S).
- the handle is of sufficient size compared to the diameter of the part bottom of the lid to allow when folded towards the system tamper-proof closure, the protection of the lid closure system (F, M, fig. 1a).
- the lid of closing food jars has a spoon integrated circuit (Q), for example consisting of a rod-shaped handle connected to a from its ends to a cavity in the form of a hollow half-ball.
- the spoon can obviously have various forms adapted to the input and / or the dosage of the food.
- the spoon (Q) is initially fixed by one end of its handle on the lower part (I) of the lid by small legs detachable (Q1, Fig. 2a) when first using the spoon (Q).
- the small removable tabs (Q1) of the spoon allow a maintaining substantially horizontal the spoon, substantially in the plane of the lower part (I) of the lid.
- the handle of the spoon has on its sleeve, at the end opposite to that provided with the cavity, means (Q2, fig. 2a and 3b) complementary means (E, Fig. 3b) formed on the lower part (I) of the lid.
- These complementary means (Q2, E) may consist of a notch (Q2) formed in the latter end of the handle of the spoon (Q) and complementary shape to a lug (E) formed on the surface upper part of the lower part (I).
- This lug (E) has a shape substantially of hook and allows the hooking and the maintenance of the spoon (Q) after at least one first use, without the handle being in contact with the food contained in the pot, thus avoiding bacterial pollution of the food.
- This pin (E) can naturally be replaced by a hook on which the notch (Q2) can be threaded or a stud on which the notch (Q2) can to be nested.
- This stud or hook may be formed on the inner edge (I2) of the lower part (I) and oriented towards the inside of the pot to allow a maintaining the spoon (Q) in the pot, without its handle being in contact with the food.
- These complementary means (Q2, E) can also consist of a housing formed on the inner edge (I2) of the lower part (I), oriented towards the inside of the pot and of complementary shape at the end (Q2) the handle of the spoon to allow the insertion of this end of the sleeve in the housing and keeping the spoon in the pot without his handle is in contact with the food contained in the pot.
- the outer surface of the upper part (S) of the closure lid of food jars has a particular shape with in particular on its periphery a grooving (S2) circular whole or partial diameter corresponding to the diameter of the inner edge (I2) of the lower part allowing the stacking of closed lids on each other or open on each other in staggered rows.
- the outer surface of the part upper lid closure of food jars also has a circular recess (S3, Figs 2a and 2b) of diameter corresponding to diameter of the bottom of the pots allowing the stacking of the pots provided with their cover on each other.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires.The present invention relates to a lid for closing pots food.
Il est connu des couvercles de fermeture de pots alimentaires dont
l'emboítement sur les pots alimentaires ne se fait pas de façon automatique,
hermétique et inviolable. Ce type de couvercle, comme par exemple celui décrit
dans la demande de brevet DE 297 12 826, entraíne un risque d'ouverture
inopinée qui peut être problématique lorsque l'aliment contenu dans le pot est
destiné à des enfants en bas âge dont la nourriture doit être conservée stérile.
D'autres installations connues de l'art antérieur, telles que celles décrites dans
les demandes de brevet WO 03/022703 et GB 2 250 271, sont constituées
d'une partie inférieure et d'une partie supérieure reliées entre elles par une
charnière souple permettant le repliement de la partie supérieure sur la partie
inférieure. Cependant, ces installations ne possèdent pas de anse permettant à
l'utilisateur de porter le pot alimentaire. Le couvercle décrit dans la demande de
brevet WO 03/022703 possède des moyens d'emboítement automatique et
hermétique sur un pot mais il ne possède pas de cuillère intégrée pour la
manipulation de l'aliment contenu. Le couvercle décrit dans la demande de
brevet GB 2 250 271 possède une cuillère intégrée, initialement fixée sur le
couvercle par des pattes sécables, mais celle-ci ne peut pas être, après sa
première utilisation, stockée dans le pot sans être en contact avec l'aliment
dans le pot, ce qui pose à nouveau un problème de stérilité puisque l'utilisateur
est susceptible d'avoir déposé des germes sur, par exemple le manche de la
cuillère lors de sa manipulation. Enfin, il est connu des couvercles dont la forme
n'est pas appropriée pour permettre de les empiler les uns sur les autres lors
du stockage avant la mise sur le pot ou pour permettre d'empiler les pots munis
de leur couvercle les uns sur les autres, ce qui pose des problèmes
d'encombrement et d'instabilité du stockage.Closure cans for food pots are known from
the nesting on the food pots is not done automatically,
hermetic and inviolable. This type of cover, as for example that described
in the patent application DE 297 12 826, entails a risk of opening
unannounced that can be problematic when the food in the pot is
intended for infants whose food should be kept sterile.
Other known installations of the prior art, such as those described in
the patent applications WO 03/022703 and

L'invention va maintenant être décrite en liaison avec les figures 1a à 3b. L'invention consiste en un couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires. Un tel couvercle consiste en une partie inférieure (I, fig.1a et 1 b), en forme de bague, par exemple circulaire, comportant une gorge, possédant des bords externe (I1, fig.2a et 2b) et interne (I2, fig.2a et 2b) enveloppant le rebord (P) d'un pot, par exemple incurvé vers l'extérieur. Sous ce rebord viennent s'emboíter des ergots (I3, fig.2a) présents par exemple sur la face interne du bord externe de la gorge pour permettre une fixation inviolable de la partie inférieure du couvercle sur le pot. La forme du couvercle selon l'invention pourra naturellement être modifiée en fonction de la forme du pot sur lequel il est destiné à être emboíté. Ainsi, si la pot que le couvercle est destiné à recouvrir est de section rectangulaire ou carrée, il est évident que le couvercle aura, respectivement, également une forme rectangulaire ou carrée.The invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 3b. The invention consists of a lid for closing food containers. Such cover consists of a lower part (I, fig.1a and 1b), ring-shaped, for example circular, having a groove, having external edges (I1, fig.2a and 2b) and internal (I2, fig.2a and 2b) enveloping the rim (P) of a pot, by example curved outward. Under this rim come snug lugs (I3, fig.2a) present for example on the inner face of the outer edge of the throat to allow a tamper-proof attachment of the lower part of the lid to the pot. The shape of the lid according to the invention may naturally be modified depending on the shape of the pot on which it is intended to be nested. So, if the pot that the lid is intended to cover is of rectangular section or square, it is obvious that the lid will have, respectively, also a rectangular or square shape.
Cette partie inférieure est solidaire grâce à une charnière souple (C, fig. 1a et 2a) d'une partie supérieure (S) en forme de couvercle, à replier sur la partie inférieure (figures 1a et 1b) et possédant en périphérie une lèvre (S1, fig. 2b ) venant recouvrir une portion (I4) de la partie inférieure (fig. 2a et 3b).This lower part is secured by a flexible hinge (C, fig. 1a and 2a) of an upper portion (S) in the form of a cover, to fold over the lower part (Figures 1a and 1b) and having at the periphery a lip (S1, fig. 2b) coming to cover a portion (I4) of the lower part (Figures 2a and 3b).
Les parties inférieure (I) et supérieure (S) du couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires possèdent, en leur côté diamétralement opposé à la charnière (C) les liant l'une à l'autre, respectivement la partie femelle (F, fig.1a) d'un système de fermeture inviolable, constituée de deux pattes latérales fixes liant la partie inférieure du couvercle à une plaque amovible (F2, fig.1a) qui sera brisée lors de la première ouverture du couvercle et la partie mâle (M, fig.1a), constituée d'un ergot venant s'emboíter dans la partie femelle et sous le bord externe de la partie inférieure du couvercle et dont les dimensions sont déterminées pour permettre l'ouverture du couvercle après destruction et retrait de la plaque amovible (F2) de la partie femelle (F) du système de fermeture.The lower (I) and upper (S) parts of the closure cover of food jars have, on their side diametrically opposed to the hinge (C) binding them to each other, respectively the female part (F, fig.1a) a tamper-proof closure system consisting of two fixed side brackets binding the lower part of the lid to a removable plate (F2, fig.1a) which will be broken during the first opening of the lid and the male part (M, fig.1a), consisting of a lug coming to fit into the female part and under the outer edge of the lower part of the lid and whose dimensions are determined to allow the opening of the lid after destruction and removal the removable plate (F2) of the female part (F) of the closure system.
La partie inférieure (I) du couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires possède sur son bord externe, de part et d'autre de l'axe formé par la charnière souple et le système de fermeture, deux axes de rotation (R, fig. 1 a) constitués chacun par une tige courte (R1, fig. 3b) avec un disque en son bout (R2, fig. 3b) sur lesquels viennent s'emboíter des encoches de fixation (A1, fig. 1a et 3b) d'une anse (A, fig. 1 et 3b), initialement solidaire des côtés correspondants de la partie supérieure du couvercle par de petites pattes (A2, fig. 1a et 3b). Ces petites pattes (A2) sont cassables lors de la première utilisation de la anse, de façon à ce que, après fermeture de la partie supérieure du couvercle sur la partie inférieure, les encoches de fixation (A1) de l'anse (A) se fixent automatiquement sur les axes de rotation (R) de la partie inférieure du couvercle. Ensuite, les encoches (A1) de fixation de l'anse (A) étant emboítées sur les axes (R) de rotation de la partie inférieure (I), l'ouverture du couvercle provoque la rupture des petites pattes (A2) reliant l'anse (A) à la partie supérieure (S).The lower part (I) of the lid for closing food containers has on its outer edge, on both sides of the axis formed by the hinge flexible and closing system, two axes of rotation (R, Fig. 1 a) each with a short stem (R1, Fig. 3b) with a disc at its end (R2, fig. 3b) on which are fastened fixing notches (A1, Figs 1a and 3b) a handle (A, Fig. 1 and 3b), initially secured to the corresponding sides of the upper part of the lid by small tabs (A2, Figs 1a and 3b). These small legs (A2) are breakable when the first use of the handle, so that after closing the upper part of the lid on the lower part, the fixing notches (A1) of the handle (A) are fixed automatically on the axes of rotation (R) of the lower part of the lid. Then, the notches (A1) for fixing the handle (A) being interlocked on the axes (R) of rotation of the lower part (I), the opening of the lid causes the breaking of the small legs (A2) connecting the handle (A) to the part superior (S).
L'anse est de dimension suffisante par rapport au diamètre de la partie inférieure du couvercle pour permettre lorsqu'elle est rabattue vers le système de fermeture inviolable, la protection du système de fermeture du couvercle (F, M, fig. 1a).The handle is of sufficient size compared to the diameter of the part bottom of the lid to allow when folded towards the system tamper-proof closure, the protection of the lid closure system (F, M, fig. 1a).
Le couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires possède une cuillère intégrée (Q), par exemple constituée d'un manche en forme de tige reliée à une de ses extrémités à une cavité en forme de demi-boule creuse. Selon le type d'aliment contenu dans le pot que le couvercle est destiné à recouvrir, la cuillère pourra évidemment avoir diverses formes adaptées à la saisie et/ou au dosage de l'aliment. La cuillère (Q) est initialement fixée par une extrémité de son manche sur la partie inférieure (I) du couvercle par de petites pattes amovibles sécables (Q1, fig. 2a) lors de la première utilisation de la cuillère (Q). Les petites pattes amovibles sécables (Q1) de la cuillère permettent un maintien sensiblement horizontal de la cuillère, sensiblement dans le plan de la partie inférieure (I) du couvercle. Le manche de la cuillère possède sur son manche, à l'extrémité opposée à celle munie de la cavité, des moyens (Q2, fig. 2a et 3b) complémentaires de moyens (E, fig. 3b) formés sur la partie inférieure (I) du couvercle. Ces moyens complémentaires (Q2, E) peuvent consister en une encoche (Q2) formée dans cette dernière extrémité du manche de la cuillère (Q) et de forme complémentaire à un ergot (E) formé sur la surface supérieure de la partie inférieure (I). Cet ergot (E) possède une forme sensiblement de crochet et permet l'accrochage et le maintien de la cuillère (Q) après au moins une première utilisation, sans que le manche soit en contact avec l'aliment contenu dans le pot, évitant ainsi une pollution bactérienne de l'aliment. Cet ergot (E) peut naturellement être remplacé par un crochet sur lequel l'encoche (Q2) peut être enfilée ou un plot sur lequel l'encoche (Q2) peut être emboítée. Ce plot ou ce crochet pourront être formés sur le bord interne (I2) de la partie inférieure (I) et orientés vers l'intérieur du pot pour permettre un maintien de la cuillère (Q) dans le pot, sans que son manche ne soit en contact avec l'aliment. Ces moyens complémentaires (Q2, E) peuvent également consister en un logement formé sur le bord interne (I2) de la partie inférieure (I), orienté vers l'intérieur du pot et de forme complémentaire à l'extrémité (Q2) du manche de la cuillère pour permettre l'insertion de cette extrémité du manche dans le logement et le maintien de la cuillère dans le pot, sans que son manche ne soit en contact avec l'aliment contenu dans le pot.The lid of closing food jars has a spoon integrated circuit (Q), for example consisting of a rod-shaped handle connected to a from its ends to a cavity in the form of a hollow half-ball. According to the type food contained in the pot that the lid is intended to cover, the spoon can obviously have various forms adapted to the input and / or the dosage of the food. The spoon (Q) is initially fixed by one end of its handle on the lower part (I) of the lid by small legs detachable (Q1, Fig. 2a) when first using the spoon (Q). The small removable tabs (Q1) of the spoon allow a maintaining substantially horizontal the spoon, substantially in the plane of the lower part (I) of the lid. The handle of the spoon has on its sleeve, at the end opposite to that provided with the cavity, means (Q2, fig. 2a and 3b) complementary means (E, Fig. 3b) formed on the lower part (I) of the lid. These complementary means (Q2, E) may consist of a notch (Q2) formed in the latter end of the handle of the spoon (Q) and complementary shape to a lug (E) formed on the surface upper part of the lower part (I). This lug (E) has a shape substantially of hook and allows the hooking and the maintenance of the spoon (Q) after at least one first use, without the handle being in contact with the food contained in the pot, thus avoiding bacterial pollution of the food. This pin (E) can naturally be replaced by a hook on which the notch (Q2) can be threaded or a stud on which the notch (Q2) can to be nested. This stud or hook may be formed on the inner edge (I2) of the lower part (I) and oriented towards the inside of the pot to allow a maintaining the spoon (Q) in the pot, without its handle being in contact with the food. These complementary means (Q2, E) can also consist of a housing formed on the inner edge (I2) of the lower part (I), oriented towards the inside of the pot and of complementary shape at the end (Q2) the handle of the spoon to allow the insertion of this end of the sleeve in the housing and keeping the spoon in the pot without his handle is in contact with the food contained in the pot.
La surface externe de la partie supérieure (S) du couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires possède une forme particulière avec notamment sur sa périphérie un rainurage (S2) circulaire entier ou partiel de diamètre correspondant au diamètre du bord interne (I2) de la partie inférieure permettant l'empilement des couvercles fermés les uns sur les autres ou ouverts les uns sur les autres en quinconce. La surface externe de la partie supérieure du couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires possède également un renfoncement circulaire (S3, fig. 2a et 2b) de diamètre correspondant au diamètre du fond des pots permettant l'empilement des pots munis de leur couvercle les uns sur les autres.The outer surface of the upper part (S) of the closure lid of food jars has a particular shape with in particular on its periphery a grooving (S2) circular whole or partial diameter corresponding to the diameter of the inner edge (I2) of the lower part allowing the stacking of closed lids on each other or open on each other in staggered rows. The outer surface of the part upper lid closure of food jars also has a circular recess (S3, Figs 2a and 2b) of diameter corresponding to diameter of the bottom of the pots allowing the stacking of the pots provided with their cover on each other.
On comprend que l'on a ainsi réalisé un couvercle de fermeture de pots alimentaires fabriqué en une seule opération de moulage avec sa cuillère et sa anse. Ce couvercle présente l'avantage de permettre un emboítement automatique, hermétique et inviolable du couvercle sur le pot, un port aisé du pot grâce à une anse sur le couvercle permettant également une protection du système de fermeture. Lors du processus de fabrication entre la sortie d'usine de moulage plastique et de l'usine alimentaire d'emballage, la forme spécifique du couvercle permet un empilement aisé des couvercles, soit fermés les uns sur les autres soit ouverts et en quinconce, la partie inférieure de l'un au-dessous de la partie supérieure d'un autre couvercle. La forme spécifique de la surface supérieure du couvercle permet également un empilement aisé des pots remplis munis de leurs couvercles. La cuillère intégrée (Q) permet une manipulation de l'aliment et peut être fixée dans le couvercle après une première utilisation, ceci sans contact du manche avec l'aliment pour éviter toute contamination de l'aliment par des germes portés par l'utilisateur.It is understood that one has thus realized a closure lid pots made in a single molding operation with his spoon and his handle. This cover has the advantage of allowing a nesting automatic, hermetic and tamperproof lid on the pot, easy port of pot thanks to a handle on the lid also allowing a protection of the closing system. During the manufacturing process between the factory outlet plastic molding and packaging food factory, the specific form lid allows easy stacking of the lids, either closed on the others are open and staggered, the lower part of one below from the top of another lid. The specific form of the top surface of the lid also allows for easy stacking of filled jars with their lids. The integrated spoon (Q) allows a handling of the food and can be fixed in the lid after a first use, this without contact of the handle with the food to avoid any contamination of the food by germs worn by the user.
