Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for food according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • this container comprises a shell with a bottom, a side wall and a top circumferential shell edge, as well as on the shell edge, if necessary, tightly sealing lid.
  • the lid is in the contact area to the shell edge of soft elastic sealing material or he is provided with such.
  • fasteners are provided which releasably secure the lid to the shell, while forming a contact force between the lid and the shell edge.
  • food containers that serve as food containers for the storage and transport of food should close as close as possible to prevent the dripping of liquids, but also an exchange of air between the container interior and the environment.
  • the lid of a container of the present type at least in that area which is placed on the shell edge, made of soft elastic sealing material.
  • a soft elastic seal in the contact area between the lid and the shell edge may be provided to ensure the air and drip-tight fit of the lid on the shell.
  • the present invention has the object to improve a container of the type mentioned in terms of its handling.
  • a container for food which is formed according to the present invention, thus differs from the prior art essentially so that in each case two or more fasteners are combined to form an actuating unit, and that this actuating unit is designed as a slide.
  • this actuating unit is designed as a slide.
  • a rectangular in its basic form container are then preferably two slides present, each actuate a plurality of fasteners, so that the fasteners generate the contact pressure between the lid and the shell edge not only in the area of the slide, but also circumferentially distributed on the two sliderless pages.
  • the invention thus simplifies the handling of a container of the present type, on the one hand, in that only two actuating elements for actuating all circumferentially distributed fastening elements are present, ie the container can be opened or closed by means of a handle, and, on the other hand, that the actuating elements are designed as a slide, which in turn allows a comparison with the known hinged flaps simplified handling.
  • a substantially rectangular container that is to say a container with a shell, which has two side walls and two end walls, is provided with a slider on each end wall, which slides actuate at least two fastening elements at the same time attack on the associated end wall as well as simultaneously on one or both side walls.
  • the fasteners may consist of on the one hand substantially horizontally extending retaining surfaces and on the other hand, bars which engage under the retaining surfaces when closing the fasteners.
  • the bars and / or the holding surfaces are each inclined to form a bevel against the horizontal, so that upon pushing the bolt on the holding surface, a movement of the lid to the shell takes place and thereby the necessary contact pressure of the lid is generated at the shell edge.
  • the bars are hook-shaped in cross-section and attached to the lid.
  • This allows the holding surfaces on the other hand can be easily formed by a projection in the region of the shell edge on the shell and optionally have recesses through which dive the hook-shaped latch and can engage behind by horizontal displacement of the support surfaces.
  • At least one holding surface expediently the holding surfaces on the side walls of the container, are provided with a guide surface extending in each case approximately perpendicularly to the holding surface, running essentially parallel to the direction of movement of the associated bar.
  • this guide surface is formed by a lateral guide web.
  • the slide according to the invention are mounted on the lid and optionally connected to the also present on the lid bars; because when the slides are attached to the lid, they are at that point of the container that is already gripped by the user if he wants to loosen the lid from the shell.
  • the shell is then free of moving parts, which is advantageous in terms of handling of the shell and in terms of contamination of the moving parts.
  • the lid and / or the slide are preferably provided with a roof-shaped edge surface which covers the bolt laterally. This can be such that the slides in the retracted state form the edge surface of the lid when two slides are present so form a kind of split ring, which extends over the entire circumference of the lid.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view obliquely from above the embodiment described here of a container according to the present invention.
  • This container consists of a shell 1, whose basic shape is approximately rectangular and which accordingly has two end walls 2 and two side walls 3, as well as a lid 4, which in the present case is placed airtight on the shell 1.
  • a slider 5 At the end faces of the lid 4 is provided with a slider 5, which is actuated by means of a gripping surface 6.
  • the two slides 5 engage around the edge of the lid 4 so that they form a closed ring with a roof-shaped edge surface 7.
  • This ring is divided approximately centrally, since the two slides 5 can be pulled outward to release the cover 4 for removal from the shell 1.
  • Both the shell 1 as well as the lid 4 and the slide 5 are made of plastic, in particular polypropylene, which is lightweight, dimensionally stable and resistant.
  • FIG 2 shows in a similar perspective as Figure 1, the shell 1 of the container without a lid.
  • This shell consists of a bottom 8 and the already mentioned above end walls 2 and side walls 3.
  • a shell edge 9 is a circumferential projection 10 with recesses 11 for receiving (not shown here) bars that are attached to the sliders 5.
  • the shell edge 9 carries in the present embodiment, no soft elastic seal, as this would interfere with the use of the shell for food. Instead, a soft elastic seal is provided in the lid 4, which will become apparent from the following figures.
  • the shell 1 is also free of the slides according to the invention or other moving parts, so that it represents the user as a more or less conventional shell.
  • Figure 3 shows again in a similar perspective view of the cover removed from the shell 4 with its two slides 5.
  • the two slides 5 have been pulled outward, so that approximately centrally now Gap between the two roof-shaped edge surfaces 7 of the two slides 5 can be seen.
  • a visible in the gap contact area 12 of the lid 4 for placing on the shell edge 9 of the shell 1 is provided with an inserted, soft elastic seal 18, which, however, can not be seen here.
  • FIG 4 The hidden in Figure 3 of the roof-shaped edge surfaces 7 bars can be seen in Figure 4, which in turn shows in a similar perspective as in the preceding figures, an insulated slider 5.
  • a bolt 13 with a ramp 14 can be seen, which dips when placing the lid 4 on the shell 1 in one of the recesses 11 in the projection 10 of the shell 1 and the projection 10 engages behind the shutter 10 , This will be explained in more detail with reference to the following drawings.
  • On the inside of the gripping surface 6 four (not visible here) are mounted vertical ribs, on the one hand form the slide 5 stable and on the other hand in the frontal recesses 11 in the projection 10 of the shell 1 ( Figure 2) and to make the fit of the lid 4 on the shell 1 mechanically even more stable.
  • Figure 5 shows again the entire container, but in a perspective view from below.
  • the lateral latches 13 each engage under a retaining surface 15 formed by the projection 10 and cause the desired pressing force of the cover 4 on the shell 1 in the region of the side walls 3 by means of the run-on slope 14 (not visible here).
  • the slides 5 are provided with locking surfaces 16, which engage under the projection 10 at the front, in order to produce the desired pressing force between the cover 4 and the shell 1 on the front side.
  • the holding surface 15 is formed by the underside of the projection 10.
  • the abovementioned retaining surface 15 on the end wall 2 of the shell 1, which is formed on the projection 10, is provided with a ramp 14 in order to move the cover 4 when the locking surface 16 is pushed onto the retaining surface 15 to effect the shell edge 9 out.
  • the contact portion 12 of the lid 4 to the shell edge 9 out is provided with a groove 17, in which a hollow chamber profile is inserted as a circumferential, soft elastic seal 18.
  • the slider 5 runs on a sliding surface 19 at the edge of the lid 4 and is guided there in corresponding (not shown) guides. The closed state of the slider 5 is shown in FIG. 6b.
  • FIG. 7a shows in a partial section a detail of the container according to the invention in unlocked slide position
  • FIG. 7b shows the locked position.
  • the bolt 13 is shown as a fastener on a side wall 3 of the shell 1 in section and illustrates its interaction with the formed on the underside of the projection 10 holding surface 15 with the ramp 14 of the bolt 13.
  • FIG. 8 shows a detail from FIG. 5 in a plan view from below, namely the lateral latch 13 shown in FIG. 5, bottom right, which is formed on the slide 5 with its edge surface 7.
  • the bolt 13 is shown in its closed position in which it engages under the holding surface 15.
  • the holding surface 15 is provided in the embodiment shown here with a guide web 20 which forms on its side facing the shell 1 side a lateral guide surface for the bolt 13 which is approximately perpendicular to the support surface 15 and substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the bolt 13 ,
  • the slider 5, and with this the lid 4 are thus fixed horizontally and vertically by the bolt 13.
  • the recess 11 in the projection 10 of the shell 1 is dimensioned so that the released from its engagement with the holding surface 15 and the guide bar 20 bolt 13 can be passed up through the recess 11 therethrough and insofar as a removal of the lid 4 in the open state of the slide 5 opposes any resistance.
  • FIG. 1 to 8 for a container according to the invention thus illustrates the inventive combination of frontal fasteners 15, 16 and lateral fasteners 13, 15, which are operated with one and the same slide 5.
  • the sealing contact force between the cover 4 and the shell edge 9 can be ensured not only the front side, but also on the side walls 3, and this still only two slides 5, each with a gripping surface 6 are present.
  • the slider 5 are mounted in the present embodiment on the cover 4, which offers advantages in handling, since the lid 4 is already taken to open and close and what the shell 1 of movable Relieving parts.
  • the slider 5 according to the invention can of course also be attached to the shell 1, in which case the lid must have no moving parts. A combination of these two possibilities is conceivable, so that both the shell 1 and the lid 4 have moving parts.
