Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cover for closing a container, at least consisting of an upper surface with one folding seam which divides the cover into two sides and gives a pivoting effect, and side edges with underside, method for producing such a cover, a container comprising an upper edge fitting onto the underside of such a cover, and a packaging comprising a container closed with such a cover.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a cover intended to close a container without the above stated drawbacks which entail the presence of holes, and wherein the supply of air is nevertheless ensured.
  • the present invention therefore provides a cover of the type stated in the preamble wherein each of the two sides of the upper surface makes an angle of about 20-60° with the plane formed by the underside of the side edges. It will be apparent that both sides of the upper surface as well as the plane formed by the underside of the side edges intersect at the folding seam.
  • an opening is cre-Bad-St bcr-if ⁇ nds of the folding both sides of the folding seam more preferably makes an angle at both positions where the pivoting effect ends of about 20-60° with the plane formed by the underside of the side edges.
  • the ridge generally further runs roughly parallel to the upper surface. In a particular preferred embodiment, this ridge is arranged at the greatest possible distance from the folding seam so that the upper surface runs as straight as possible when placed on the container for which the cover is intended.
  • the horizontal form of the cover also enables stacking of the containers on which the cover according to the invention is placed.
  • the side edges of the upper surface preferably comprise at least one snap closure, generally two or four snap closures, which are not situated where the folding seam gives the cover a pivoting effect.
  • the side edges comprise a ridge
  • the snap closure or snap closures are therefore then situated on the underside of the ridge, preferably on those sides on which the folding seam does not come out.
  • the use of other types of closure to enable fastening of the cover according to the invention on a container also forms part of the scope of protection of the invention.
  • the embodiment with a plurality of folding seams also forms part of the invention.
  • the folding seam is preferably situated transversely practically in the middle of the cover.
  • the cover and the container on which the cover fits can further take any form, such as for instance a round or oval form, although it is recommended that the upper surface of the cover, and thereby the form of the container for which the cover is intended, is at least almost rectangular.
  • the four corners of the rectangle are herein truncated, wherein an octagon is created, or rounded.
  • the cover with the matching container is generally manufactured from flexible material, such as thin plastic.
  • a cover with container can be produced from a heated roll of foil of corresponding material and pressing thereof in a mould as according to the thermoforming process known to the person with ordinary skill in the art.
  • the cover according to the invention and the container associated therewith are manufactured from material which is non-flexible or little flexible, such as for instance hard plastic.
  • a further advantage is that it can be produced using the known injection moulding process, wherein a mould is applied.
  • Cover and container can of course also be made from other material such as a robust type of paper, for instance cardboard.
  • a packaging consisting of a container closed by a cover for closing such a container according to the present invention further forms part of the invention.
  • a method for closing a container wherein a cover suitable for closing such a container according to the present invention is snapped onto the container.
  • On the side edge of the cover there can be arranged an additional flap which, once the cover has been attached, serves to remove it easily once again from the container.
  • the cover takes the form of a rectangle with truncated sides, such a flap will preferably have a triangular form with a size such that the rectangular form is as it were restored.
  • the cover according to the invention and the packaging consisting of such a cover and the container for which the cover is intended, wholly obviates the drawbacks of the known packaging in which holes can cause undesirable content in the packaging and upper surfaces which are not completely flat.
  • figure 1 shows a front view of cover (1) for closing, but here separately of container (2), wherein the upper surface of the cover comprises a folding seam (3), a side edge (4), a ridge (5) and a support bridge (6),
  • figure 2 shows a front view of cover (1) closing container (2 ), wherein the upper surface of the cover comprises a folding seam (3), a side edge (4), a ridge (5) and a support bridge (6), wherein the pivoting effect of the folding seam creates an opening (7) between the cover and the container,
  • cover (1) closing container (2 ) wherein the upper surface of the cover comprises a folding seam (3), a side edge (4), a ridge (5) and a support bridge (6), wherein the pivoting effect of the folding seam creates an opening (7) between the cover and the container
  • the figures are otherwise schematic and not drawn to scale. Some dimensions in particular may be exaggerated to a greater or lesser extent for the sake of clarity. Corresponding parts are designated in the figures as far as possible with the same reference numeral.
  • the device as shown in figure 1 serves to illustrate a rectangular cover with sides which are truncated at the position of the support bridge.
  • Folding seam (3) in the cover forms a pivot point, or in fact a pivot line. If the cover is snapped onto the container, the situation then arises as shown in figure 2, wherein reference numeral 7 designates the opening enabling entry and exit of air. If one or more snap closures are applied, these are then generally situated under ridge 5, although then on the side of the cover and therefore not visible in figure 2.
  • the resulting horizontal upper surface underlines the further advantage of the cover according to the invention, i.e. that stacking on the horizontally running flat surface is readily possible.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un couvercle destiné à fermer un contenant, composé d'une surface supérieure et d'arêtes latérales. Ladite surface supérieure et les arêtes latérales sont pourvues d'au moins un joint de pliage permettant un pivotement du couvercle. Les arêtes latérales de la surface supérieure comportent notamment un ou plusieurs éléments de fermeture par encliquetage. Lorsque le couvercle est encliqueté sur un contenant correspondant, une ouverture est créée entre le contenant et son couvercle afin de permettre la circulation de l'air. Ainsi, il n'est pas nécessaire de pratiquer des trous dans le couvercle et/ou le contenant pour la circulation de l'air.
