Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to packages comprising a lid and a container body having a bottom and a peripheral side wall with a peripheral skirt having a lower edge, the lid having upstanding opposite peripheral walls defining a peripheral groove for receiving the upper edge of the peripheral side wall, an upper peripheral wall bridging the two walls, a central portion and a plurality of spaced apart upstanding ribs arranged along with and contiguous with one of said the walls.
- EP 1681242 An example of such a package is disclosed in EP 1681242 .
- filled packages of this general type may be relatively heavy it is burdensome for the consumer to remove a package from a stack, depending on the height of the stack.
- US 4 700 842 discloses a package according to the preamble of claims 1 and 13.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a package that is easier to remove, and this is accomplished in that the ribs define ramps having an upper surface defining a smooth face extending between the central portion of the lid and the upper wall, the upper surface of the lid wall defining a continuation of the upper surface of the ramps without any upstanding edges on the lid restricting a sideways sliding movement off said lid of an identical container body placed on the lid, according to claim 1.
- the invention also relates generally to package comprising a container body with a lid with ribs thereon and having a bottom face and a peripheral side wall with a peripheral skirt having a lower edge, a space being between the inside of skirt and the outside of said side wall, a portion of the bottom face being curved or angled towards an adjacent side wall part, preferably along two or four opposite side wall parts, according to claim 13.
- reference numeral 1 represents an embodiment of a moulded plastic material package comprising a lid 10 and a container body 20.
- the drawing shows two adjacent stacks of packages 1, each stack comprising two packages 1.
- One use of such a package is for containing paint or other liquid material, and such packages with content will typically be presented to the consumer arranged in a relatively high stack, such as with five to eight packages 1 stacked one above the other.
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the package 1 of fig. 1 , showing the configuration of the lid 10 and of a skirt 25 that runs along the periphery of the side wall 22 of the container body 20, integral therewith, to provide a stiffening of the container body 20.
- the container body 20 is configured to be slightly wider at the upper end, compared to the base end at the container body bottom face 28, and a handle (not shown) may be attached to the skirt of the container body 20.
- the exemplary package 1 shown in the drawings has opposed skirt parts running somewhat parallel to each other, to define in this case a package 1 with an almost square contour as seen from above.
- the container body 20 is configured with at least one gripping area 26 to allow for a person to grip hold of the package with his fingers H to pull the package 1 sideways out of a stack.
- This is of particular advantage when stacks of packages 1 are placed closely next to one another, in which case the consumer is prevented from withdrawing the package by gripping around two opposite sides of the container body 20. This would often be the case when the packages are supported on a pallet.
- the container body bottom face 28 preferably has a slightly curved or angled surface portion 29 along one side wall part 22' (as shown), or preferably along two or four opposite side wall parts.
- the ramps 13 will provide for a centering of the packages 1 in the stack in that the bottom face 28 slides onto the central portion 12 on a lower one of the packages.
- the bottom portion 29 surface slides on the corresponding upper surface 14 of the ramps 13 formed on the lid 10 of the package on which the selected package 1 rests.
- the ramps or ribs 13 are preferably each delimited by opposite side walls 14' that may provide for a stiffening of the lid 10, as is conventional for ribs on a lid. In another embodiment (not shown) the ramp 13 may extend continuously along the entire periphery of the lid 10.
- the configuration of the gripping portion 26 will now be explained.
- This contour is provided by the peripheral skirt 25 which runs at a distance, such as 3-8 mm from the container body wall 22 and which has a lower edge 23.
- the skirt 25 is in a conventional manner joined with the container body wall 22 inter alia by means of ribs (of which some are schematically illustrated by reference numeral 24 in fig. 2 ) in the space 30 bridging the inside of skirt 25 and the outside of the wall 22 and extending partially towards the lower edge 23 of the skirt 25. Often, the ribs 24 will extend halfway along the skirt 25 towards the lower edge 23 thereof.
- the space 30 between the inside of skirt 25 and the outside of the wall 22 is made wider locally by e.g. 6-12 mm to a total of e.g. 9-20 mm by the wall 22 having a wall part 22' that is retracted away from the skirt 25 towards the interior of the container body 20.
- the side wall 22 is retracted at two opposite corners of the rectangular container body 20 which thereby shows a somewhat askew configuration seen best in fig. 4 , the two remaining side wall parts of the container body 20 being essentially straight and running parallel with each other.
- the retracted wall part 22' preferably extends continuously from the bottom face 28 and up into the space 30 behind the skirt 25.
- the transition between the retracted wall part 22' and the adjoining parts of the side wall 22 is preferably smooth in that no sharp edges are created at the transition.
- the generatrix of the container body side wall 22 follows a straight line, also at the retracted wall part(s) 22', whereby in a vertical cross-section as shown in fig.
- the entire side wall 22 extends continuously along a straight line; this allows for an easy labelling of the container body 20, either in an in-mould-labelling process, or subsequently to the moulding, as well for an easy printing of the container body 20.
- the gripping portion 26 allows a person to insert at least one finger into the space 30 at said gripping portion 26 by at least 15 mm, preferably at least 25 mm, measured from the lower edge of the skirt 25 towards the peripheral wall. If ribs 24 are present, this would be the distance between the lower edge of the skirt 25 and the ribs 24.
- the skirt 25 may as shown locally have an integral dependent portion having a lower edge 27 running below the level of the edge 23 of the rest of the skirt 25 to allow for an adult person to insert his fingers even deeper behind the skirt 25 before his finger tips meet the ribs 24 in the space 30 whereby he is able to hold even more firmly onto the skirt with his index finger and his thumb, as shown in fig. 2 , to lift and pull out the package 1 from the stack through the movement illustrated by the arrow in fig. 3 .
- the lower edge 27 of the dependent portion of the skirt may follow a smooth curve, as shown, and the dependent portion preferably runs in the same plane as the rest of the skirt 25.
- the retracted wall part 22' may be located at one corner of the container body 20 only, or between two corners at the same side wall par; when the packages 1 are stacked the bottom portion 29 will slide sideways on ramps 13, a gripping portion 26 preferably being located above bottom portion 29, as shown in fig. 3 .
- Fig. 5 shows by dashed lines the above mentioned alternative configuration of the ramp 13 when having a curved shaped, and of the wall 18 when being angled, and also of the portion 29 of the bottom face 28 when having a curved shape. As shown, no upstanding edges stop the package when sliding it off the stack, as shown in fig. 3 .
