Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a double containment capacity container particularly recommended for housing two different quantities of a food substance in a practical and proportionate manner using one sole object.
  • containers currently present on the market, which feature dividers inside them which create two compartments to contain, for example, chocolate in one compartment and biscuits in the other.
  • This type of container is generally sealed with a film of foil which is ripped off when one decides to use the contents thereof.
  • the containers just described feature one sole cover therefore it is not possible to access solely one compartment at a time, and once the container has been opened, all the contents thereof are exposed and must be consumed or otherwise thrown away.
  • the aim of the present invention is essentially to solve the problems of the commonly known technique overcoming the drawbacks described by means of a double containment capacity container, able to contain, in an adequate manner, two different quantities of substances.
  • a second aim of the present invention is to have a double containment capacity container which is extremely practical and convenient to use.
  • a third aim of the present invention is to have a double containment capacity container which does not require different places to store it and allows the space occupied in the storeroom and the management costs to be reduced.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to have a double containment capacity container which has a simple structure, occupies little space, is stackable, and is easy to realise and use.
  • a still further aim of the present invention is to have a double containment capacity container which allows two substances to be contained contemporaneously and separately and which are also usable one at a time and at different moments.
  • a further and not final aim of the present invention is to realise a double containment capacity container which is simple to realise and works well.
  • figure 1 shows, schematically and from a perspective view, a double containment capacity container as per the present invention
  • figure 2 shows, schematically and from a lateral view, the container in figure 1 ;
  • figure 3 shows, schematically and from a perspective view, the container in figure 1 in a different operational condition
  • figure 4 shows, schematically and from a lateral view, the container in figure 3;
  • FIG. 5 shows, schematically and from an overhead view, the container in question
  • figure 6 shows, schematically and from a perspective view, the container in figure 3 in operational condition
  • figure 7 shows, schematically and from a perspective view, the container in figure 1 in operational condition
  • figure 8 shows, schematically and from a sectioned view, the container in figure 3;
  • figure 9 shows, schematically and from a perspective view, a container according to the present invention equipped with a seal.
  • 1 denotes the double containment capacity container as a whole, according to the present invention.
  • the container 1 is essentially constituted of one or more lateral walls 2, which mark the limits of the said container, and of a base 3 located in a preset intermediate position inside the lateral walls, as shown in figure 1.
  • the lateral walls can compose a container having any cylindrically shaped configuration, with a double frustum of cone or of pyramid or a quadrangular section, as show in the figures.
  • the base 3 features a flat configuration which is orthogonal to the lateral walls or arched or partially arched and partially flat, as shown in figure 8.
  • the container in question features the characteristic that it has a pair of chambers 5 and 6, one of which is larger than the other and stacked on top of the other, each one being able to contain a determined quantity of substance 7, as shown in figure 6 and figure 7.
  • container 1 proves stackable, as the smaller chamber 6 is able to enter the larger chamber 5.
  • the material with which the container is realised can be plastic, glass, metal, cardboard, polystyrene, material for food use, biocompatible and biodegradable materials, etc or, in any case, any further material which meets the aim of containing food substances, whether liquid or solid.
  • the container can be sealed with a sealing element 4, such as a lid, on one or both sides, as shown in figure 9.
  • a sealing element 4 allows the container to be sealed using pressure or by means of screwing or by engagement, etc.
  • the sealing element 4 can be large enough to house the substance inside it in such a way as to become, in its turn, a further container, so as to be able to use a chamber, for example, for drinking and to be able to pour the contents of the other chamber into the sealing element space without running the risk of making the contents thereof fall.
  • the container 1 once sealed with the sealing element 4, also proves easily stackable in this condition therefore it becomes very easy and simple to transport several containers containing food substances.
  • the container in question has the function of a glass
  • its operation essentially entails containing liquids, like an ordinary glass, but with the particularity that it is able to contain, for example, a spirit, where the quantity of liquid is contained in chamber 6, while the chamber 5 becomes the resting base for the glass, while in the event of a soft drink or a long drink, the chamber 5 - which has a larger capacity- is used and the chamber 6 becomes the resting base for the glass.
  • the chamber 5 - which has a larger capacity- is used and the chamber 6 becomes the resting base for the glass.
  • the smaller chamber is used, while for an ice cream composed, for example, of three or four scoops and/or with fruit, the larger chamber is used and the unused chamber acts a base for the bowl.
  • the unus.ed chamber becomes a handgrip for the bowl so that the ice cream can also be eaten while walking.
  • the manager of the bar/cafe or the ice cream parlour is able to have a much smaller stock of bowls, and therefore restocking costs are lower, with definite savings in terms of management and less money tied up, in addition to less space occupied since they are also stackable.
  • each one of these can be housed in a chamber of the container and sealed with a lid, therefore the user can open one chamber at a time, depending on what they prefer, since there is also the possibility of resealing the chamber with the lid as shown in figure 9.
  • the double containment capacity container in question is extremely simple and practical.
  • a glass instead of having two different sized glasses, it is possible to use a single element to meet the requirements of pouring two different types of beverages, such as, for example, spirits or long drinks or soft drinks.
  • the container in question proves very practical and functional to stack.
  • the container in question with a single element is able to fulfil the function of a glass with the larger chamber and, for example, of a coffee cup with the smaller chamber, occupying decidedly less space.
  • the container in question in addition to liquids, also allows solid foods to be contained, such as ice cream, allowing two different quantities of ice cream to be served with the same container without having to have two different sized bowls.
  • the container can contain a soft drink in one compartment and a dessert, a biscuit or other such foodstuff in the other and can be sealed with a lid.
  • the container in question is able to fulfil the function performed until now by two separate containers, which had to be kept together with packaging or other means, via one sole element which proves more practical and convenient to use, transport and pack.
  • a further advantage of the container in question derives from the fact that it is possible to considerably reduce the stocks of the containers, with a consequent reduction in the costs of management of the stocks, in addition to the fact that it becomes simper to replace the same container rather than two different containers.
  • a further but not final advantage of the present invention is that it proves notably easy to use, simple to realise and works well.
  • further modifications or variants may be applied to the present invention while remaining within the scope of the invention that characterises it.
