Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiple package.
  • Packages used to contain products of various kinds are known; at home and in the workplace, the need is felt to utilize in an optimum manner the spaces available, and therefore it is important also for said packages to have limited dimensions, so that they can be stored conveniently in limited spaces, small cabinets and shelves, or in refrigerators (if they contain food products or products which can deteriorate at ambient temperature), even small ones.
  • Some packages such as for example detergent boxes, occupy considerable space even as the product inside them is gradually used up, and cannot be removed until they are completely empty.
  • the aim of the present invention is to meet the mentioned requirements, by providing a multiple package which has reduced dimensions but at the same time is easy and quick to access.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a multiple package which, by way of its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multiple package which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, effective in operation, and further competitive from an economic standpoint.
  • a multiple package characterized in that it comprises a plurality of containers, each associated with at least one other container and substantially shaped complementarily with respect to each other, so as to constitute, in a closed configuration in which they are substantially mutually adjacent in a predefined ordered manner, a solid which has minimal space occupation.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a multiple package according to the invention.
  • the multiple package 1 comprises a plurality of containers 2, each associated with at least one other container and substantially complementarily shaped with respect to each other, so as to constitute, in a closed configuration in which they are substantially adjacent in a predefined ordered manner, a solid with minimal space occupation.
  • Said solid can be of any type, for example polyhedral, regular, irregular, or even a sphere, an ellipsoid, and others.
  • the multiple package 1, in the cited closed configuration is shaped like a cube.
  • Each one of the six exemplary containers 2 that compose the package 1 comprises an outer face, which forms a side 3 of the cube, and at least one edge of the side 3 is shared with another container 2.
  • Each container 2 is shaped like a pyramid having a square base, but in other examples of embodiment, which are fully equivalent, the containers 2 can have a different shape (for example, they can be shaped like a truncated pyramid, as illustrated in Figure 4, conical, frustum-shaped, and have other shapes).
  • each container 2 comprises a removable portion, which allows access to its interior, and for example the sides 3 comprise at least one removable portion or can also be completely removable in order to access the inside of the respective container 2.
  • the removable portion can be constituted by the smaller end face of the truncated-pyramid container 2.
  • edges that mate in said closed configuration i.e., the non-shared edges of the faces 3, which are mutually adjacent in this configuration, can be mutually associated by way of provided connecting means, which comprise for example removable adhesive bonds provided along said edges, or even adhesive labels distributed along said edges.
  • the containers 2 can be removed sequentially (and are for example of the disposable type), and for this purpose there are means for separating them.
  • the separation means comprise cutting lines 4 provided along the shared edges of the removable containers 2.
  • the materials used to manufacture the package 1 may be any according to the requirements, and for example the containers 2 can be made of thermoformed rigid material and the sides 3 can be constituted by a removable film made of aluminum, or even by a film made of transparent material, so as to allow inspection of the contents C of the containers 2.
  • the package 1 is intended to contain food products and the like, it is conveniently made of a material which is specific for food use.
  • the containers 2 may also contain beverages, for example, and in this container at least one portion thereof is suitable to be pierced with a straw (for example, the sides 3 can be constituted by a pierceable film).
  • the containers 2 can also be made of glass and closed appropriately.
  • the package 1, in the cited closed configuration advantageously occupies a reduced amount of space and can be stored conveniently in shelves, refrigerators, pieces of furniture, and the like: the user removes sequentially a single container 2 (or even more than one at a time, according to the requirements), which contains for example the correct dose of detergent, or a food product, and others.
  • at least one first container 2 can comprise a tab or even a recess (both not shown in the figures) in order to allow easier lifting from the package 1 in the closed configuration.
  • the package 1 has a space occupation which decreases gradually as the containers 2 are removed in succession.
  • the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects. Further, the configuration of the package 1 positively achieves a particular visual effect, which stimulates the interest and curiosity of the potential buyer.
  • the faces 3 can have a circular shape and each one can be associated with at least one other container tangentially, or they can even have a polygonal shape (for example, diamond-shaped) and be associated by means of their comers: in this manner, the package 1, in the closed configuration, has large openings, which allow visual inspection of its interior.
  • some containers or even all the containers may be provided separately from each other and be associated subsequently with each other by way of suitable connection and articulation means, constituted for example by an adhesive band. Further, all the details may be replaced with other technically equivalent ones.
