Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of containers comprising a container and a lid.
  • the present invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, reusable containers intended to receive food preparations, such as for example yogurts.
  • WO 2008 024503 discloses a container of square section in which retaining members are arranged within a lower annular border of the lid, these retaining members being adapted to engage under an outer annular lateral edge of the container when the lid closes the container. These arrangements provide a relatively tight closure between the lid and the container. These provisions, however, have the disadvantage of an easy removal of the lid. To overcome this drawback, the lid has a gripping tab arranged in a corner. However, to allow removal of the lid for reuse, the lower annular edge of the cover must be relatively thin and / or must be made of a flexible material, to allow to separate the retaining members of the outer annular lateral edge of the container.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a container in which the removal of the lid is facilitated.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a container that is reusable.
  • a container comprising a container and a lid, the container having an upper edge extended by an outer annular lateral edge, the lid having a lower bearing wall surrounded by a lower annular border, at least two retaining members being arranged within the lower annular edge, since the outer annular lateral edge extends beyond retaining thresholds that can be passed by the retaining members when the cover is in place on the container, and in that the retaining members bear against the outer annular lateral edge beyond said retaining thresholds when the lid rests on the container.
  • the lower annular rim of the container is deformed by bending between two adjacent retaining members, and the retaining members exert lateral pressure on the outer annular lateral edge, below the retaining thresholds.
  • a simple axial movement away from the lid of the container can thus allow to separate the retaining members by elastic deformation of the lower annular edge, to pass the retaining thresholds.
  • a deformation of the bottom support wall of the lid is not necessary, which improves the sealing of a reusable container.
  • the lower annular edge is inclined towards the inside of the lid relative to an outer edge of the lid. This arrangement makes it possible to grip the lid below the retaining members without hindering the deformation of the lower annular edge during removal of the lid. Alternatively, the user could grasp the cover between the retainers.
  • the retaining thresholds are connected to the upper edge of the container by rounded surfaces. This arrangement makes it possible to arrange the retaining thresholds near the upper edge of the container and to move the retaining members away when the lid is placed on the container.
  • the retaining members have a chamfered lower face. This arrangement makes it easier to place the lid on the container by facilitating the passage of the retaining thresholds. This arrangement also makes it possible to use retention thresholds close to the edge top of the container.
  • the retaining thresholds are extended opposite the upper edge of the container by an inclined wall having a relief angle of less than 5 °.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to limit the elastic deformation of the outer annular lateral edge of the lid during the passage of the retaining thresholds by the retaining members. This arrangement also facilitates the removal of the lid.
  • the retaining members are evenly spaced inside the lower annular edge. This arrangement makes it possible to avoid precise indexing of the lid with respect to the container.
  • the cover comprises between two and six retaining members. These provisions make it possible to reconcile a sufficient hold of the lid with easy removal of the lid.
  • the outer annular lateral edge and the lower annular edge have non-circular geometries. These arrangements make it possible to obtain a variation in the rigidity of the lower annular edge of the lid.
  • the retaining members are arranged outside the portions of the outer annular lateral edge having the smallest radii of curvature.
  • the retaining members can be arranged in the most deformable areas of the lower annular edge of the lid.
  • the outer annular lateral edge has several faces interconnected by curved zones. This arrangement makes it possible to accentuate the difference in stiffness between the curved zones and said faces, with respect to an elliptical geometry, said faces not being however necessarily straight.
  • the lower annular border presents several sides connected to each other by rounded edges.
  • a retaining member is arranged inside each of the sides.
  • the cover has stiffening means surrounded by the lower support wall.
  • the increase in the rigidity of the lid makes it possible to improve the seal between the lower bearing wall of the lid and the upper edge of the container.
  • the stiffening means are formed by a central concavity of the lid. This arrangement has the advantage of facilitating the cleaning of the lid and reduce the size of the container.
  • the lid is made of rigid plastic, more economical than a silicone or elastomeric material.
  • the container is made of glass, which is particularly interesting for a reusable food container.
  • the container illustrated on the figure 1 comprises a container 1 and a lid 2.
  • the container 1 may in particular be used for the preparation of yogurts.
  • the container 1 is advantageously made of glass.
  • the lid 2 makes it possible to close the container 1.
  • the lid 2 is advantageously made of a rigid plastic material, for example made of polypropylene.
  • the container 1 has an upper edge 10 extended by an outer annular lateral edge 11.
  • the container 1 has a side wall 12 and a bottom 13.
  • the outer annular lateral edge 11 belongs to the side wall 12.
  • An annular lower edge 14 is arranged outside the container 1 under the outer annular lateral edge 11.
  • the cover 2 has a lower support wall 20 surrounded by a lower annular rim 21.
  • the lower support wall 20 is provided to rest on the upper edge 10 of the container. More particularly, the cover 2 has stiffening means 22 surrounded by the lower support wall 20.
  • the stiffening means 22 are formed by a central concavity 23 of the cover 2 surrounded by the lower support wall 20.
  • the container 1 and the lid 2 illustrated in the figures have a square geometry.
  • the outer annular lateral edge 11 has several faces 15 interconnected by curved zones 16, and the lower annular edge 21 has several sides 24 connected to each other by rounded edges 25.
  • the outer annular lateral edge 11 and the lower annular border 21 have non-circular geometries.
  • Other polygonal geometries, for example hexagonal, or non-polygonal, for example elliptical or circular, are however possible for the outer annular lateral edge 11 and / or the lower annular edge 21.
  • Retaining members 30 are arranged inside the lower annular edge 21 of the cover 2. According to the invention, at least two retaining members 30 are arranged inside the lower annular edge 21.
  • a retaining member 30 is arranged inside each of the sides 24.
  • the retaining members 30 are thus arranged outside the portions of the outer annular lateral edge 11 having the smallest radii of curvature.
  • the retaining members 30 are regularly spaced within the lower annular edge 21.
  • the lid 2 advantageously comprises between two and six retaining members 30 for containers 1 such as individual yogurt pots, a larger number of retaining members 30 may be envisaged for larger containers 1, for example until to twelve retaining members 30 for a container 1 of one to two liters.
  • the retaining members 30 have a chamfered lower face 31, intended to facilitate the placement of the lid 2 on the container 1.
  • the retaining members 30 have a chamfered upper face 32, the height of the upper face 32 being greater than the height of the lower face 31, to reconcile a stiffening of the retaining members 30 with a limitation of the height of the retaining members 30 and the bulk of the lid 2.
  • the lower annular border 21 is inclined towards the inside of the lid 2 with respect to an outer edge 26 of the lid 2.
  • the outer edge 26 is arranged in the upper part of the lower annular edge 21, close to the wall of the lower support 20.
  • the outer edge 26 is arranged between the lower bearing wall 20 and the retaining members 30, to allow deformation of the portions of the annular edge lower 21 carrying the retaining members 30.
  • the container 1 has retaining thresholds 40 arranged on the side wall 12.
  • the retaining thresholds 40 are likely to be crossed by the retaining members 30 when the lid 2 is placed on the container 1, as visible on the figure 6 .
  • the outer annular lateral edge 11 extends beyond the retaining thresholds 40 towards the bottom of the container 1.
  • the retaining thresholds 40 are connected to the upper edge 10 of the container 1 by rounded surfaces 17.
  • the retaining thresholds 40 are extended opposite the upper edge 10 of the container 1 by an inclined wall 18 having a draft angle of less than 5 °, and preferably less than 3 °.
  • the inclined wall 18 is formed by the lower part of the outer annular lateral edge 11.
  • the outer annular lateral edge 11 extends beyond the retaining thresholds 40 that can be crossed by the retaining members 30 when the cover 2 is put in place on the container 1. Thus, the retaining members 30 bear against each other. the outer annular lateral edge 11 beyond said retaining thresholds 40 when the lid 2 rests on the container 1.
  • the container according to the invention is used in the following manner.
  • the user places the lid 2 on the container 1.
  • the lower faces 31 of the retaining members 30 of the lid 2 bear against the rounded surfaces 17 adjacent to the upper edge 10 of the container 1.
  • the pressure exerted by the user on the cover 2 spreads the retaining members 30.
  • the lower annular edge 21 being flexibly deformed in bending on the sides 24 of either side of the retaining members 30, the rounded edges 25 forming stiffening elements.
  • the retaining thresholds 40 are exceeded by the retaining members 30, the lower bearing wall 20 of the lid 2 bears on the upper edge 10 of the container 1, and the retaining members 30 are moved away from their rest position by the elastic deformation of the lower annular border 21 exert an effort on the outer annular lateral edge 11 of the container 1.
  • the lid 2 exerts a slight pressure on the container 1 because of the slope of the inclined wall 18.
  • the user can grasp the lid 2 by the outer edge 26 at two opposite sides 24, or at two rounded edges 25.
  • the retaining members 30 slide on the outer annular lateral edge 11 until at the retaining thresholds 40 and then release the lid 2 of the container 1 after having exceeded said retaining thresholds 40.
  • the proposed construction makes it possible to obtain a resealable container using a container 1 having undemanding dimensional tolerances, such as, for example, a glass container 1.
  • a container 1 having undemanding dimensional tolerances such as, for example, a glass container 1.
  • the introduction of the lid 2 only requires the gripping of the lid 2 followed by a movement 1 unidirectional to the container 1.
