Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage container for food, which is formed by at least one upwardly open base body made of a hard plastic, which has at least one lid support edge and which is divided into at least two partial shells.
  • Such a container which has a circumferential latching projection and can be closed with a lid, which in turn has hinged latching tabs, is shown for example in US 2004/0084464 A1. It can be used in many ways in the household for storage, even of aqueous or liquid foods.
  • Such a storage container is available in several sizes in order to select a suitable container volume depending on the size of the food to be packaged. Each storage container is individually closed with a cut to its cross-section lid.
  • deep-drawn disposable packaging are known in which two sub-shells are connected along a predetermined breaking line, so that one sub-shell can be folded against the other sub-shell and the contents of the sub-shell can be poured into the other sub-shell, for example, cereal in yogurt or chocolate crumbs in quarkgeber feature.
  • a multipart storage container is known, in which two sub-containers are coupled together in order to be able to transport different foods.
  • Each partial shell can be closed with its own lid. To open and close so each two separate lid must be placed and closed or removed again.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a storage container with at least two partial shells, in which the content of one partial shell can be tilted into the other partial shell and in which no separate cover for each partial shell are individually required.
  • the partial shells are hinged together, by a so-called hinge.
  • the area of the hinge is an interruption of the outer contour of the base body.
  • the upper cover support edge runs almost through, namely from the outside of a sub-shell on the aligned thereto edge arranged on the other sub-shell.
  • the lid support edge is interrupted on both sides of the hinge, ie in each case in the region of the two end faces.
  • the side walls of the partial shells which are opposite, not quite as high as those on the outer circumference. Since the outer peripheral edge of the cover, which is also made of a hard material component, is removed from the area of the hinge, a connection is made. pivoting of the two hinged interconnected subshells possible.
  • the side walls of the part shells formed of a hard material have a lowered edge and the hinge is arranged approximately at the level of the recessed edges.
  • the partial shells are formed in the region of the hinge so that a single lid, which covers the entire floor plan of the two partial shells together, can be used.
  • the two sub-shells are supported in the region of their flexible connection, so that no greater deformations can occur in this, compared to the known containers changed area when storage containers and lids are interconnected.
  • the main body is identical to the known storage containers with only one compartment, so that existing cover elements can be used.
  • the locking and sealing of the lid on the body takes place in the same way, as known from the prior art, namely in particular via hingedly connected to the lid member locking tabs which are engaged under a formed on the outer periphery of the body locking projection.
  • each partial shell has an elastomeric sealing web. This extends between the ends of the cover support edges, so that a continuous edge contour is formed on each partial shell, of which at least one part of a hard component and the other part lying in the region of the hinge is formed of a soft component.
  • a lid which has on its underside an endless sealing surface, so sets in the vast part of the circumference, the hard lid support edge each Part shell to this sealing surface.
  • the soft seal bridge bridges the remaining distance by also being applied to the sealing surface on the underside of the cover.
  • the hinge for example, made of a TPE and connected directly to the walls of the hard-thermoplastic part shell.
  • the hinge can be formed at least in one of a plurality of layers as a film hinge, which consists of the same hard thermoplastic material, from which also consist of the sub-container.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides to connect both sub-containers by such a film hinge and additionally spray a soft elastic component as a layer on it.
  • the sealing webs can then advantageously be produced in one piece together with the elastomeric sublayer of the hinge. This is achieved on the one hand by the hard component such rigidity and restoring effect that z.
  • one of the sub-container depends heavily when the user lifts the storage container on the other sub-container, and that the further handling in relation to the laying and locking of the lid is easily possible.
  • good flexibility is achieved in the area of the hinge, in order to be able to pivot one part container over the other, if necessary.
  • Figure 1 shows a storage container according to the invention in the initial state in longitudinal section
  • Figure 2 shows a storage container according to the invention in the folded position in longitudinal section
  • FIG. 3 shows the storage container with the lid in the closed state
  • Figure 4 shows the storage container without lid in a slightly perspective view from above
  • Figure 5 shows a detail of the storage container in the region of the hinge in a perspective view from above.
  • Figure 1 shows a storage container 100, which consists of two separate sub-containers 10, 20. At the top close the sub-containers 10, 20 each with a Deckelauf position edge 12, 22 from. The cover support edges 12, 22 are in the illustrated starting position of both sub-containers 10, 20 in the same plane. On the outer sides of the sub-containers 10, 20 locking projections 1 1, 21 are formed. At the mutually facing sides, the partial containers 10, 20 formed from a hard thermoplastic material close off in each case at an inner edge 13, 23 running straight in the plan view plane. Between the inner edges 13, 23, an elastic hinge 30 is formed, via which the two partial shells 10, 20 are hinged together. Above the inner edges 13, 23, the hinge 30 has in each case an upwardly projecting elastomeric sealing web 31, 32.
  • Figure 4 shows the storage container 100 in the initial state from the longitudinal side in a slightly perspective view.
  • the locking projections 1 1, 21 and the cover support edges 12, 22 are also clearly interrupted.
  • a crease line 35 is formed, for example, by a local material weakening.
  • the bending line 35 is not arranged centrally between the two partial shells 10, 20, but is arranged closer to the large partial shell 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows a use position of the storage container 100, in which the small part container 20 is swung up, while the large part container 10 remains in its initial position.
  • the hinge 30 is bent in the region of the bending line 35.
  • the remaining areas of the hinge 30, namely the sealing webs 31, 32, remain unaffected.
  • the hinge 30 is separated by the eccentric kink line 35 into a narrower part 33 on the large part container 10 and a wider portion 34 on the small part container 20.
  • the eccentric arrangement of the hinge or crease line 35 causes the upper edge of the sealing web 32 is seen in cross-section pivots on a circular path, which leads to above the sealing web 31.
  • the sealing webs 31, 32 thus do not collide, so that the pivoting of one sub-tank 20 relative to the other sub-container 10 is possible not only by an angle of 90 degrees, but also beyond.
  • the side wall 24 of the small sub-container 20 facing the hinge 30 can be arranged obliquely downward. The food received in the small part container 20 can thus more easily trickle out or flow out.
  • FIG. 3 shows in a further longitudinal section the complete storage container set, consisting of a storage container 100 and a cover element 40 known per se.
  • On the outer sides of the lid member 40 is with its sealing surface 43 on the cover support edges 12, 22.
  • the locking tabs 41, 42 are latched under the locking projections 1 1, 21, whereby a contact force is caused, the lid 40 in the region of the sealing surface 43 fixed the lid support edges 12, 22 presses.
  • the seal is not effected by an additional elastomeric sealing surface on the lid bottom, but via elastomeric sealing webs 31, 32 in the region of the hinge band 30.
  • each sealing web 31, 32 formed in this area slightly rising, so in any case there is an excess and by compression of the elastic components when locking the lid 40, a reliable seal can be achieved.
  • the hinge comprises a lower layer 37 and an upper layer 36.
  • the upper layer 36 is preferably made of a thermoplastic elastomer and connects the two sealing webs 31, 32 with each other.
  • the lower layer 37 is a bridge made of a hard thermoplastic material, which connects the two sub-containers 10, 20 and which is formed in the region of the bending line 35 as a film hinge.
