Definitions

  • This invention relates to a containing lid for a container, comprising a closed compartment containing a material that is able to flow, such as a sauce for a salad or other product provided in the container, when a sufficient external force is applied to said lid which is attached to the mouth of a corresponding container.
  • a material that is able to flow such as a sauce for a salad or other product provided in the container
  • Utility model ES-A-231221 proposes a containing lid for containers, intended to be applied to a container or a similar receptacle, that can contain an article which, without its nature being related to the contents of the container, must be supplied together with said container.
  • Said utility model does not indicate whether the contents of said lid can be a flowable material, such as a sauce, or whether it can be mixed with a second material contained in the container to which said lid is attached.
  • US patent 3662913 also proposes a lid that also acts as a container, similar to the one proposed by the present invention, the main difference being that in this case the wall dividing the lid and the container on which the lid is placed, cannot be broken. Instead it has to be removed manually, by first removing the lid from the container.
  • This invention proposes a containing lid for a container, comprising a series of laminar walls that delimit a closed compartment, containing a flowable material, such as a sauce.
  • Said lid has a support configuration that is capable of preventing said compartment from being squashed when it is resting on a surface. It also comprises a perimeter closure configuration adapted to be attached to the mouth of a corresponding container encompassing the compartment, and at least one weakened area formed in a bottom laminar wall, which acts as the base of the lid, adapted to be broken by deforming the compartment by applying sufficient external force, whereby, thanks to said breakage, it is possible to pour said flowable material inside said container.
  • the containing lid for a container proposed by the present invention comprises as a unit a top laminar wall 1; a bottom laminar wall 2; at least one perimeter laminar wall 3, not very high in relation to the extension of said top and bottom laminar walls 1, 2, and which extends between the top and bottom laminar walls 1, 2 delimiting a closed compartment 4 containing a flowable material; at least one support configuration 5 formed in at least one of the top or bottom laminar walls 1, 2 and capable of making contact with the other one of the bottom or top laminar walls 2,1 to prevent said compartment 4 from being squashed when it is resting on a surface; a perimeter closure configuration 7 adapted to be attached to the mouth of a corresponding container 8 encompassing the compartment 4; and at least one weakened area 6 formed in the bottom laminar wall 2 adapted to be broken by deforming the compartment 4 by applying a sufficient external force in order to pour said flowable material inside said container 8.
  • the perimeter closure configuration 7 comprises a flat strip adapted to be attached to a corresponding flat strip 13 formed next to a mouth of the container 8.
  • the perimeter closure configuration 7 comprises a groove adapted to receive in a snap fit a corresponding edge 14 formed next to a mouth of the container 8.
